3D Printing from Vietnam.
Audited Factories. Real Photos. FTA-Ready.
SLA, SLS, MJF, FDM, and DMLS metal printing — sourced from DEWIN's 50-point Dolphin-audited factory network. Certificate of Origin documentation for 16+ FTA markets. Every factory photographed and verified by our on-ground team.
Why DEWIN is Different for 3D Printing
Online marketplaces match you to anonymous factories. We match you to physically audited, photographed, and scored AM facilities — and we've met the team.
Real Photos of Every Machine
Our team photographs the actual printing machines — make, model, condition — not showroom shots. You see exactly what will produce your parts before you commit.
50-Point Dolphin Audit
Every 3D printing partner is scored across 5 pillars: Facility, Equipment, Quality Systems, Workforce, and Export Compliance. Only Tier 1 and Tier 2 factories enter production programs.
FTA Documentation Ready
16+ Free Trade Agreements mean Vietnam-origin 3D printed parts qualify for preferential tariff rates in the EU, CPTPP, RCEP, and UK markets. We prepare COO documentation as standard.
6 Technologies. All Dolphin-Audited.
From rapid SLA prototypes to DMLS metal production parts. Each technology is available through our verified Vietnam factory network.
SLA (Stereolithography)
🔍 Dolphin audit: Equipment & Capacity pillar: photopolymer resin machine, UV curing station
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
🔍 Dolphin audit: Equipment pillar: EOS or Farsoon laser sintering system verified
MJF (Multi Jet Fusion)
🔍 Dolphin audit: HP Multi Jet Fusion system verified by on-ground team
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)
🔍 Dolphin audit: FDM system + enclosed chamber for engineering materials verified
DMLS (Metal 3D Printing)
🔍 Dolphin audit: EOS M 290 or equivalent LPBF system + powder handling room verified
Metal Binder Jetting
🔍 Dolphin audit: Sintering furnace + debinding equipment verified on-site
The 50-Point Dolphin Audit — Applied to 3D Printing
Our audit framework was designed for traditional manufacturing — but all 5 pillars apply equally to additive manufacturing facilities. Here's what we verify at every 3D printing factory.
Facility & Safety
What we audit: Factory layout, 5S organization, fire safety, environmental compliance, access control, clean room if required
For 3D printing: For 3D printing: powder storage safety (SLS/DMLS), resin handling safety (SLA), dust management protocols
Equipment & Capacity
What we audit: Machine make/model/vintage, maintenance records, calibration certificates, production capacity, spare parts availability
For 3D printing: Critical for 3D printing: machine model determines accuracy limits, build volume, and material compatibility
Quality Systems
What we audit: ISO 9001 status, inspection equipment, dimensional check process, non-conformance management, CAPA records
For 3D printing: Dimensional inspection after printing, CMM/VMM availability for FAI documentation
Workforce & Management
What we audit: Operator training, AM process knowledge, management stability, employee tenure, shift capacity
For 3D printing: Experienced AM operators significantly affect surface quality and dimensional accuracy
Export Compliance
What we audit: Certificate of Origin history, FTA documentation capability, customs classification records, VCCI registration
For 3D printing: Required for $0 Section 301 on US orders, EVFTA 0% on EU orders, CPTPP preferential rates
QCLDM Scoring Tier Reference
| Tier | Score Range | Buyer Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 85–100 | Recommended for precision and production programs. Full documentation capability. |
| Tier 2 | 70–84 | Good for standard programs with buyer-specified QC overlay. Minor improvement actions noted. |
| Tier 3 | 55–69 | Prototype or low-risk orders only. Corrective actions required before production. |
| Probationary | <55 | Not recommended. Factory on improvement plan. |
16+ Free Trade Agreements — Why Vietnam Wins for Global Buyers
Vietnam's FTA network means your 3D printed parts ship to the EU, UK, Japan, Australia, and Canada with preferential or zero duty rates — if the COO documentation is in order. DEWIN manages this for every order.
| Agreement | Markets Covered | Buyer Benefit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| EVFTA | European Union (27 countries) | 0% duty on most industrial goods after staging | In Force 2020 |
| CPTPP | Australia, Canada, Japan, NZ, Singapore, Mexico, Peru, Chile | Preferential rates on qualified goods with Vietnam COO | In Force 2018 |
| RCEP | ASEAN + China, Japan, Korea, Australia, NZ | Reduced tariffs on most product categories | In Force 2022 |
| UKVFTA | United Kingdom | Preferential access post-Brexit under UK-Vietnam FTA | In Force 2021 |
| VJEPA | Japan | Deep tariff reductions on manufactured goods | In Force 2009 |
| VKFTA | South Korea | Preferential rates across manufacturing sectors | In Force 2015 |
FTA data sourced from USTR and WTO databases. Preferential rates depend on Rules of Origin and correct COO documentation. Consult your customs advisor for specific classification.
What Comes With Every 3D Printing Order
We deliver finished parts AND the documentation that makes them usable for production programs, customs entry, and quality records.
Pre-Shipment Photos
On-ground team photographs every batch before it leaves the factory. You see your parts before delivery — no surprises.
Dimensional Inspection Report
Pre-shipment dimensional check on every order. CMM reports available for precision parts requiring GD&T verification and FAI documentation.
Certificate of Origin
VCCI Form B (general), CPTPP Form, EVFTA EUR.1, or RCEP origin certificate — whichever your destination market requires for FTA preferential treatment.
Material Test Reports
Material certifications with full traceability for metal printed parts (DMLS, binder jetting). Nylon and resin material data sheets for all plastic printing.
DEWIN vs Other 3D Printing Sources
When factory verification and FTA documentation matter, not all sources are equal.

Post-Processing & Finishing Options
We deliver finished parts, not raw prints. In-factory post-processing keeps lead times low and quality traceable.
Dyeing & Painting
Custom colors, RAL/Pantone matching, spray painting
Vapor Smoothing
Chemical smoothing for SLS/MJF — injection-mold-like finish
CNC Post-Machining
Machine critical features to tight tolerances after printing
Metal Finishing
Heat treatment, HIP, anodizing, plating for DMLS parts
