3DLC Group Limited

Engineering
From Asia.
Delivered.

Procurement, design, additive manufacturing, and equipment export — delivered through a trusted Hong Kong entity with direct access to China's precision manufacturing network. Not a platform. A partner.

What We Do

Four Service
Lines.

Each is independent. All are connected. The deeper a client engages, the more value compounds across their supply chain.

01
Procurement & Sourcing
Components · Parts · Machinery
Direct buying agent for industrial automation components, precision parts, and machinery from China and SE Asia. We transact in RMB, USD, and HKD — accessing supplier pricing and payment terms unavailable to offshore buyers. We eliminate multi-leg freight, distributor markups, and the trust deficit of purchasing blind from a distance.
Industrial procurement
02
Engineering Design
NPD · CAD · Reverse Engineering
Qualified mechanical engineering from concept to production-ready drawings. New product development, reverse engineering of existing parts, and design-for-manufacture review that optimises your geometry for cost-effective Chinese production. Billed on a fixed project fee or day rate — no retainer required.
Engineering design
03
Additive Manufacturing
FDM · SLS · SLA · MJF · Metal
Engineering design and file preparation handled in-house. Production through our vetted manufacturing network covering the full range of AM processes and materials — from food-grade polymers to titanium. Parts delivered to your door anywhere in the world. No minimum order.
Additive manufacturing
04
Equipment Export
Beverage · Pharma · Lab · Medical
Export trading of Chinese-manufactured beverage, pharmaceutical, laboratory, and medical equipment to ANZ, SE Asia, South Asia, and the EU. We manage compliance documentation, CE marking support, quality inspection, freight forwarding, and logistics end-to-end.
Equipment export
Materials Capability

In-House &
Network.

Our engineering team designs and optimises parts for additive manufacture. Production is fulfilled through a combination of our own in-house FDM capability — covering high-temperature engineering polymers — and a vetted network of Chinese AM service bureaus providing access to the full spectrum of additive processes and materials.

This gives clients access to any AM technology at Chinese production cost, with engineering oversight and quality accountability that anonymous bureau platforms do not provide.

All process and material selections are made by our engineers based on your specific application requirements — operating temperature, chemical exposure, mechanical load, regulatory standard, and cost target.

Additive manufacturing — 3D printed parts
High-Temp Polymers
  • PPS-CF— 260°C HDT, CIP-rated, chemically inert

About

A Different
Kind of
Intermediary.

3DLC Group Limited is incorporated in Hong Kong — the world's most efficient gateway between mainland Chinese manufacturing and global markets. We exist to serve international clients who need cost-effective, high-quality manufacturing outcomes but lack the local knowledge, language capability, or trusted relationships to achieve them independently.

We are not a sourcing platform, a commodity broker, or an anonymous trading entity. We are an engineering company — staffed by qualified engineers who understand materials, manufacturing processes, and compliance requirements. That distinction matters when the quality of your product is at stake.

Our position in Hong Kong gives us something rare: the legal and financial credibility of a common law jurisdiction, the banking infrastructure to transact in RMB, USD, and HKD without friction, and the physical proximity to China's Ningbo-Shanghai manufacturing corridor to manage production in person — not by email from the other side of the world.

We work with a small number of clients at depth, not a large number of clients at arm's length. If you are looking for the lowest price on an RFQ portal, we are probably not the right fit. If you need a technically capable partner who will take responsibility for outcomes, we are.

Registered
Hong Kong
Common law jurisdiction. Audited. Commercially accountable.
What We Offer That Others Don't
  • Engineering-validated procurement — we specify what we source
  • In-person factory access in the Ningbo-Shanghai corridor
  • Multi-currency payment — RMB, HKD, USD without friction
  • Full export compliance — CE marking, CoO, freight documentation
  • AM design + production as a single managed service
  • A team that communicates fluently between Western clients and Chinese manufacturers
Markets

Where We
Operate.

We serve clients across four market regions, each with distinct procurement and engineering needs that our Hong Kong position is built to address.

Australia & NZ

Food processors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, engineering OEMs, and industrial equipment builders seeking direct Asia procurement and custom machinery without the cost and opacity of local distribution chains.

Southeast Asia

One of the world's fastest-growing regions for industrial machinery, medical devices, and on-demand manufacturing. Manufacturers across Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines actively seeking Chinese capability with an accountable intermediary.

South Asia

India's expanding pharmaceutical and food processing sectors require cost-effective equipment and engineering services. A significant market for Chinese laboratory and processing machinery backed by full technical and compliance documentation.

European Union

A premium market requiring CE compliance documentation, technical files, and declarations of conformity for equipment market entry. Our engineering team prepares this documentation — a capability that commercial traders cannot provide.

Contact

Start a
Conversation.

Most of our engagements begin with a single question — a part that needs sourcing, a product that needs designing, or a supplier that needs managing. We respond within one business day (HKT) and will tell you honestly whether we can help.
