TXM Lean Solutions is thrilled to announce the Australian premiere of our innovative 3D Printed Factory concept at Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW) 2026.
From May 12th to 14th at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, we invite you to experience the future of facility planning firsthand. While digital twins and CAD layouts are essential tools in modern engineering, there is a unique, transformative power in tactile interaction. Our 3D Printed Factory bridges the gap between digital planning and physical reality, providing a scaled “sandbox” for teams to optimise their production environments.
Redefining Lean Layouts through Tactile Innovation
Traditional 2D drawings often struggle to convey the spatial nuances and human-centric flow required for a truly lean workspace. By utilising high-detail 3D printing to represent machinery, workstations, and logistics pathways, we provide leadership teams and floor staff the ability to:
Visualise complex production flows in three dimensions.
Rearrange entire shop floor layouts instantly without digital lag.
Collaborate in real-time to identify bottlenecks before committing to costly equipment moves or new builds.
“We are incredibly excited to bring our interactive 3D printed factory to AMW 2026” said Tim McLean for TXM Lean Solutions. “While digital twins and CAD layouts are fantastic tools, there is something incredibly powerful about physically moving elements on a shop floor model. It sparks collaborative problem-solving and makes the abstract concepts of Lean manufacturing instantly tangible.”
