Advantages of 3D Printing :
Additive Manufacture is not just an interesting way to make components: it is a tool designed to save businesses time and money. It does this by:
- Streamlining and expediting the product to market development process
- Improving product quality through better analysis
- Reducing design and tooling costs
- Reducing the likelihood of delivering flawed designs
- Allowing manufacture of completely finished goods, one offs or low quantities
- Allowing more effective design reviews, feedback and visualisation
- Allowing more accurate checking of prototypes
- Helping re-engineer lighter and better designed versions of existing parts
- Being cost effective for design changes
- Allowing for creation of complex surfaces and geometry otherwise unmanufacturable
- Providing a great client communication tool and meeting focal point
- Allowing for assemblies requiring numerous parts to be built as one unit, reducing part weight as well as costs and time involved with labour, inventory, storage, fasteners, documentation and maintenance
- Allowing low risk manufacture for market testing
- Promoting customization and personalized products
- Improving accuracy
- Decreasing costly mistakes
- Promoting collaborative design between departments
- Highlighting costly design flaws
- Improves customer designer involvement and satisfaction
- Giving early, realistic tactile feedback about products
- Speeding up decision making
