Challenge
In today’s competitive environment, shortening wait times and lead times are essential. Supply chain pressures and labor shortages pose many challenges for many manufacturers. Casting and machining low-volume metal parts can be expensive and may require weeks or months of lead time.
Solution
3D printing production parts allows you to skip the tooling development portion of product development. This enables manufacturers to compress the iteration time of prototype parts and shorten the wait between final design and production parts.
Impact
Save Money: Rapidly print custom end-use parts on-demand for a fraction of the cost of machined counterparts.
Save Time: For custom components at low volumes, 3D printing can slash months off of production lead times and massively decrease overhead costs. Print on-demand, reduce design cycle time, and eliminate the time it takes to outsource your parts.
Lighter Parts: Closed-cell lattice infill allows you to save material and print time without sacrificing part strength. Route continuous fiber infill to produce lighter, stiffer parts that achieve the strength of aluminum.
