3D printing offers numerous direct and indirect benefits to its adopters, across different verticals. In areas where it offers the greatest advantages, it is rapidly replacing the traditional manufacturing and fabrication methods. It is also being extensively adopted as a fabrication tool which complements existing tools such as CNC milling and injection molding.
Some of the various benefits are listed below:
- a) Mass customization – enables mass production of individually customized goods. Industries which are directly related to the production of customized parts derive the greatest value via the adoption of 3D printing into their businesses;
- b) Complex geometries – enables the production of parts impossible to fabricate via alternate methods by bringing with it the added benefit of freedom of design. It also offers greater flexibility than traditional manufacturing methods in design and product development;
- c) Efficiencies in part production – by using the optimum printing materials, printing technologies and the printing parameters, parts can be 3D printed in a very efficient manner as compared to traditional manufacturing methods. Through the added element of freedom of design for 3D printing, tremendous weight savings can be achieved and by virtue of the very nature of the fabrication method, scrap material is eliminated completely;
- d) “On-demand, just-in-time production” - No assembly lines, warehousing & inventory needed - truly, "on-demand" creations enabled via 3D printing;
- e) Significantly shortens the development life-cycle & time-to-market of new products via rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing;
- f) Cost-effective product development – 3D printing enables industry participants to quickly bring new products to the market without depending on expensive tooling, labor-intensive operations.
