3D Printing

3D Printing

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.It begins with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is made in a Computer Aided Design (CAD) file using a 3D modeling program  or with the use of a 3D scanner. A 3D scanner makes a 3D digital copy of an object, allowing the computer to output the information to create a 3-D product. 

5 Benefits

Innovation: Print prototypes in hours, obtain feedback, refine designs and repeat the cycle until designs are perfect. 

Generate attention and win business: Bring realistic 3D models to prospective accounts, sponsors and focus groups. 

Reduce development costs: Cut traditional prototyping and tooling costs. Identify design errors earlier and reduce travel to production facilities.

Quick to the market: Compress design cycles by 3D printing multiple prototypes on demand, right in your office.

Communication: Describing the product you are going to deliver is often misinterpreted since it leaves construction up to the imagination. A conceptual picture of the product is better than the description. 

These benefits make such a huge impact in the business world, can 3-D printing be the difference between the success and failure of a business?
