Engineer Cliff Zabkar designs tooling with the 3D printer

Proper tooling for container decorating machines is vital for accurate registration and machine productivity. With tight deadlines and the almost unlimited number of container configurations, it is extremely important to choose the right partner who can deliver high quality tooling on-time and at a reasonable price.

KBA-Kammann has installed a 3D printer to produce tooling for its decorating machines. 3D printing significantly reduces the cycle time to produce tools and parts. Combining its engineering skills and decorating knowledge with the capabilities of a 3D printer has enabled KBA-Kammann to enhance its existing machine-shop tooling program.
