Showcasing 3D Printing Innovation at Indonesia’s Manufacturing Hub
We had an incredible time at the Industrial Cikarang Roadshow, where we had the opportunity to showcase Kreatif 3D’s capabilities and connect with manufacturers, engineers, and innovators from across Indonesia’s largest industrial estate.
Event Highlights
The Industrial Cikarang Roadshow brought together hundreds of manufacturing professionals, from small workshops to large-scale producers, all looking to modernize and innovate their production processes. As one of the exhibitors, we were thrilled to demonstrate how 3D printing technology is transforming manufacturing in Indonesia.
What We Showcased
At our booth, visitors got hands-on experience with:
- Live 3D Printing Demonstrations – Watching prints come to life in real-time
- Sample Products – Physical examples from architecture models to functional prototypes
- Case Studies – Real projects we’ve completed for product designers and manufacturers
- Technology Capabilities – Our range of materials, printing technologies, and finishing options
Connecting with Indonesia’s Manufacturing Community
One of the most rewarding aspects of the roadshow was the conversations we had with manufacturers facing real production challenges:
Small Batch Manufacturers exploring alternatives to expensive tooling and high minimum order quantities
Product Developers looking for faster prototyping solutions to accelerate their innovation cycles
Engineering Teams seeking on-demand manufacturing for custom parts and fixtures
Architecture Firms interested in high-quality scale models for client presentations
The energy and innovation spirit in Cikarang’s manufacturing community is incredible. It’s clear that Indonesian manufacturers are eager to adopt new technologies and compete globally.
Key Insights from the Event
1. Growing Demand for Flexible Manufacturing
Many manufacturers we spoke with are moving away from rigid, high-volume production toward more flexible, customizable approaches. 3D printing fits perfectly into this shift, enabling:
- Production runs from 1 to 1,000 units
- Rapid design iterations without retooling
- Mass customization at scale
- Faster time-to-market
2. Local Production Capabilities Matter
With global supply chain challenges, Indonesian manufacturers are increasingly looking for local production partners who can deliver quickly and reliably. The ability to produce parts on-demand in Jakarta, rather than importing or outsourcing overseas, is becoming a significant competitive advantage.
3. Technology Accessibility is Key
We were pleasantly surprised by how many visitors were familiar with 3D printing concepts but hadn’t yet found the right partner to implement it in their workflows. The roadshow provided a valuable opportunity to demystify the technology and show practical applications.
Expanding Our Reach in Industrial Manufacturing
The Cikarang Roadshow reinforced what we’ve been seeing in our business: Indonesian manufacturers are ready for advanced manufacturing technologies. They’re not just interested in the technology itself—they want practical solutions to real production problems.
This event has inspired us to:
- Strengthen our B2B manufacturing services for industrial clients
- Develop specialized solutions for common manufacturing challenges
- Build partnerships with engineering firms and industrial suppliers
- Continue educating the market about 3D printing applications
Thank You, Cikarang!
A huge thank you to the Industrial Cikarang Roadshow organizers and all the manufacturers, engineers, and innovators who stopped by our booth. Your questions, challenges, and enthusiasm drive us to keep improving and innovating.
To everyone we met: We look forward to continuing the conversation and exploring how we can support your manufacturing needs.
