Quick answer: 3D printing in District 7 covers models, product samples and technical parts for clients in Phu My Hung, Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, local universities and Nha Be district. CT3D accepts STL, STEP and OBJ files via Zalo or email, quotes within the same business day, prints at its Ho Chi Minh City workshop and delivers to your door. On-site 3D scanning is available for large parts.
District 7 has a very different customer mix from the traditional market areas. On the Phu My Hung side you have offices, showrooms, the SECC exhibition center and a multinational resident community. To the north is Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone, with electronics, engineering and garment factories. Over in Nha Be, Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park is tied to the port and heavier industry. Each group needs 3D printing for its own reasons, and this article walks through each one so you know how to order the right way.
Key points
- Phu My Hung and SECC: display models, mini site models and event gifts that need a clean surface finish.
- Tan Thuan EPZ: jigs and fixtures, replacement parts for production lines, housing prototypes.
- Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park, Nha Be: mechanical spare parts and large parts that need on-site 3D scanning before printing.
- RMIT and Ton Duc Thang University students: product design, architecture and engineering projects.
- CT3D quotes within the same business day; lead time depends on the order and is confirmed when you place it.
Exhibition models and display pieces for Phu My Hung
For companies exhibiting at SECC or running showrooms around Phu My Hung, 3D printing is a fast way to get a good-looking product model when the real product isn’t finished yet, or is too large or too expensive to bring along.
A few typical orders:
- Scaled-up models: small products such as pump heads, cosmetic packaging or components printed several times larger so visitors can see how they are built.
- Cutaway models: half of a machine body printed to show the internal structure, very effective for presenting technical equipment.
- Project site models: real estate offices need models of building blocks and amenities for sales consultations. Fine details like railings, roofs and trees are printed in resin, while large bases are combined with CNC-cut foam.
- Event gifts: 3D logos, commemorative medals, miniature product models. For larger quantities, parts are replicated using silicone molds.
The key to this kind of order is post-processing: sanding, priming, painting to brand color codes, sometimes faux-metal plating. Build post-processing time into your event schedule and send files early. If you don’t have a file yet, CT3D offers advertising model design from photos or drawings.
3D printed jigs and production line parts for Tan Thuan EPZ
For factories in Tan Thuan EPZ, the biggest value of 3D printing is making jigs, fixtures and replacement line parts faster than conventional machining. A jig guides an operation; a fixture holds the workpiece in a fixed position during assembly or inspection.
| Part type | Suggested material / technology | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Locating fixtures for PCB and plastic housing assembly | FDM PETG, ASA; MJF PA12 | Light, won’t scratch the product, easy to revise |
| Simple quick-check (go/no-go) gauges | ABS-like resin, MJF PA12 | Stable surface, sharp detail |
| Soft gripper tips, bump pads | FDM TPU | Flexible, protects the product surface |
| Guide chutes, covers, sensor brackets | FDM ABS, ASA | Strong enough, low cost, quick to replace when broken |
| Parts exposed to high heat or wear | SLM metal 3D printing | Complex geometry that is hard to machine |
When a fixture needs tight dimensional control, CT3D can inspect the print against the CAD file before delivery. Factories can also send housing prototypes so we print several design options for test fitting with real components before the mold is approved.
Nha Be and Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park: large parts, on-site scanning
For clients in Nha Be, especially factories in Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park, the hardest step is usually not printing. It is capturing the exact shape of a part that is still mounted on a machine. In that case, CT3D sends a technician with a handheld 3D scanner to scan the part on site, without complicated disassembly.
Scan data comes as a mesh (a triangle mesh). To print accurately or machine the part later, an engineer rebuilds it as a CAD model. From there you can print a plastic sample for test fitting, print it in SLM metal, or move to CNC machining if the part carries heavy loads. We covered this process in the article on reverse engineering spare parts.
Outside the industrial park, Nha Be’s riverside communes such as Phuoc Kien, Phu Xuan and Long Thoi have many small workshops, household producers and new residents. Their needs are usually replacement parts for household appliances, fans and pumps, or home decor items.
3D printing for RMIT and Ton Duc Thang University students
Students at RMIT University (South Saigon campus) and Ton Duc Thang University in District 7 often need prints for product design projects, architectural models, robot parts and mechanical mechanisms. Some practical advice:
- Check minimum wall thickness and assembly clearances before sending your file. These are the most common errors in student project files.
- Presentation models need to look good, so print in resin and paint them. Functional load-bearing parts are better in FDM PETG or PA12.
- Send your file a few days before the deadline so there is time to reprint if something needs fixing.
The article on designing for 3D printing (DfAM) explains the design rules that lead to fewer print failures.

FAQ: 3D printing in District 7 and Nha Be
Does CT3D print models for trade fair booths at SECC?
Yes. CT3D prints product models, scaled-up models and cutaways, and paints them in your brand colors. Get in touch early so there is enough time for post-processing before opening day.
Can factories in Tan Thuan EPZ order jigs in small quantities?
Yes. 3D printing is especially well suited to low-volume jigs that get revised often. Send a CAD file or an old jig so a technician can recommend a material.
What if a machine part at Hiep Phuoc Industrial Park is too large to bring in?
CT3D can come to your site to 3D scan the part, then build the CAD model and print it at the workshop. Scanning visits are booked in advance depending on location and workload.
Can RMIT students send project files in English?
Yes. You just need a 3D file in the right format, with clear notes on size, color and quantity. A technician will check the file and let you know if there are any issues.
How long does 3D printing in District 7 take?
It depends on size, technology and post-processing. Small unpainted parts are usually much faster than large models that need a full paint finish. The exact lead time is confirmed with your order.
