Let 3DT move your company into the future with automation.
Building on Experience and Expertise
For over 30 years, 3DT has been a leader in the design and manufacture of custom surface treatment systems, complete with automation and product handling options. As an automation equipment manufacturer and automation system manufacturer, our team brings extensive experience in automation, with many years of expertise in the field. As the demand for automation in manufacturing continues to grow, coupled with our expanded facilities, we are poised to broaden our capabilities as an automation supplier, offering automation systems independent of surface treatment solutions and supporting turnkey manufacturing needs.
3DT’s custom-designed automation and product handling systems enhance efficiency and profitability across a wide range of industries. As a product handling supplier with a proven track record of delivering innovative, reliable machinery, and a strong focus on customer service, we are committed to providing top-tier automation solutions.
Automation for Surface Treatment Systems
Many customers rely on us to automate plasma and corona treatment systems. We integrate single or multiple treatment heads, dual conveyors for top and bottom surfaces, and automated part presentation for consistent exposure. These systems help packaging, plastics, medical manufacturers, and more achieve reliable adhesion and coating performance.
The system above corona treats 2 laboratory flasks at a time. Then the indexing table revolves for the treatment of 2 more. A robot quickly supplies and removes the flasks for treatment and packing all within a few seconds.
3DT’s team will analyze your manufacturing, material handling, shipping, or inspection lines and work with you to determine areas of improvement. Then, we’ll design, test, and install product handling and automation technology to improve your production and profitability.
Built Around Your Production Needs
No two manufacturing lines are the same. We build systems based on your part size, material, speed, available floor space, and production goals. Prototyping and testing help confirm performance and capability.
Support, Maintenance, and Long-Term Service
After installation, we continue supporting you with training, spare parts, remote assistance, and maintenance programs. You stay productive, and your equipment stays reliable year after year.
Our Strengths: Collaboration, Innovation,
& Sophisticated Automation Solutions
From concept, to schematic, to completed project - 3DT is your partner.

Why Automate Production?
Automation makes work easier. It supports your team instead of replacing it. By automating repetitive or high-volume steps, you gain:
- Increased output and 24/7 production
- Faster throughput and reduced bottlenecks
- Better consistency in quality
- Less scrap and fewer process errors
- Lower operating costs over the machine’s lifetime
- Reliable performance even during staffing shortages
We help you focus on growth while automation handles the routine tasks. Contact us today and let 3DT increase your productivity and profitability.
Your Source for Turnkey Manufacturing Systems
We manage the full process so you don’t have to juggle multiple suppliers. 3DT acts as a single partner that delivers turnkey manufacturing solutions built around your product and workflow. From concept and engineering to installation and production startup, we keep communication clear and schedules on track.
You get one partner, one timeline, one reliable result.
