Applications
3D printing can be used throughout a product's life cycle – from early sketching to handling spare parts. Below we have listed the top application areas for using 3D printing.
Jigs and fixtures are invaluable tools in manufacturing. By 3D printing these tools, you can drastically reduce cost and improve lead times.
Tools such as grippers are used in many manufacturing processes. By 3D printing these, you can cut tool production cost and personalize your tools.
Prototyping is an essential step in the product development process. 3D printing adds flexibility, proof of concept and shorter lead times.
3D printing makes it possible to manufacture spare parts on demand and mitigates supply chain risks associated with sourcing of critical spare parts.
3D printing is increasingly used for the manufacturing of high quality, easily customizable end-use parts with consistent output and optimized performance.
