It was held on Saturday, 10 September 2022 in Gazipur, a press release said.
X-onics Ltd that started its operation in August 2021 with a technical collaboration with Mitsubishi Materials Corporation Hard Metal, India, is the first company in Bangladesh that provides digital manufacturing, reverse engineering and computerized simulation support in precision engineering and fast solution for spare parts, mold and pattern reproduction using sophisticated 3D scanning, printing, and CNC technologies.
Currently the company is working on mold/dice manufacturing for plastic, plastic toys, shoes, printing, or food pattern, measuring cup, pharmaceuticals product, spare parts from various industries.

To produce this amount of plastic goods, around Tk 10,000 core of injection mold is required and only 30-40 per cent of these are facilitated by local entrepreneurs.
“Capacity building in digital manufacturing with sophisticated computerized simulation can increase skill, productivity and reduce material consumption compared to traditional trial and error-based method. Overall, it can help reduce not only the dependency on foreign suppliers but also the carbon footprint in manufacturing industries,” he added.
