3D printing in manufacturing
Find a new way to increase productivity.
Encourage a culture of continuous improvement by equipping everyone with the ability to 3D print problem-solving parts and tools that increase productivity and overall equipment efficiency (OEE)
3D printing is a manufacturing process that produces objects according to a 3D digital model. By using a 3D printer and adding material layer by layer, such as plastics and metals, complex things can be produced both rapidly and at low cost, in short runs or as one-of-a-kind parts.

3D Printing in Production
Low volume manufacturing
Moving to 3D printing will make it possible for businesses to consider short-run part production, where focused product teams can launch new products more frequently. They will be able to work beyond the realms of their imagination and certainly beyond the restraints that come with traditional methods. It delivers an agile development process for physical parts and can accelerate production and the time it takes to market.
Undoubtedly, 3D printing is way ahead of conventional methods when manufacturing the first several hundred parts.
High volume manufacturing
Because of its ability to influence manufacturing processes and help businesses perform at a higher level, 3D printing is a technology developing and growing faster than most other technologies. A 3D printing production line is more accessible to modify than a traditional manufacturing production line, making 3D printing a viable option for various reasons.
The entire production line can be adjusted and adapted to the printing production line's speed. As a result, improvements to machinery, adjustments to print speed, or even product changes can be made almost instantly. When compared to older methods, it can take several weeks or months to make the necessary changes and then resume production.
What are the advantages of using 3D printing in manufacturing?
Reduction in costs
Traditional manufacturing methods are notoriously expensive, whereas 3D printing makes the creation of parts products cheaper and more accessible. Unlike conventional manufacturing, where many people may be required to operate several machines or a production line is needed to piece together the product, 3D printing removes this. Each 3D printer will require an operator to start the machine before it begins an automated process of creating the uploaded design. Therefore, when using 3D printing for manufacturing, the labor costs are significantly lower as there is no need for skilled machinists or operators to form part of the process.
Reduction of risks
Businesses that confirm a design before committing it to production can reduce the risk of errors, wasted materials, and money. 3D printing to create products can boost confidence, especially since a 3D prototype is easier to redesign and alter than a traditional method.
Regarding setup costs, manufacturers will not have to produce as much of a product to justify the setup costs. Traditional production methods frequently rely on the efficiencies of mass production and necessitate a large number of assembly workers, whereas 3D printing requires only the filament material to fulfill an order.
Failure is cheaper and faster
3D printers will not need to be retooled between production runs. The speed at which a 3D printer can assemble could be considered slower than that of a traditional assembly line. However, when you factor in machinery problems that can stop production and human error, there is more that can go wrong with conventional manufacturing.
Time to market
3D printing makes it possible to develop ideas at a faster pace. In some instances, it could be possible for 3D concepts to be designed and printed on the same day, but large-scale manufacturing is undoubtedly faster than conventional methods. This can help companies to reduce manufacturing time from months to days while ensuring that they remain ahead of their competitors
No Limitations in geometries
For many years, standard manufacturing techniques have held back the design of products. However, with many improvements and more to come, the 3D manufacturing process can create an endless list of possibilities. Geometries that were once difficult can now be achieved, such as holes that change direction or square interior cavities. These kinds of designs have become possible and more straightforward to construct.
Less waste
When it comes to using 3D printing for manufacturing, a 3D printer will only use the material that passes through the printer's extruder and is used for the assembly of the product. Compared to injection molds, there is often a requirement to use additional materials to fill the molds. In most mass production needs, 3D printing will deliver less waste (for example, the support material) than traditional manufacturing.
