What are the benefits of using a 3D printer in the business has?
Development period and production time can be reduced
Until now, it was necessary to first create a mold and then manufacture parts, but with 3d printing technology, it is no longer necessary to create a mold as long as you have modeling data. Therefore, prototypes, test parts, jigs, etc. can be easily made, and the development period and production time can be reduced.
Can reduce costs
Costs can be reduced because prototypes that were outsourced and manufactured can be made in-house. In addition, you can check design mistakes that you did not notice from the data or the computer screen before making the mold, so you can prevent mistakes and reduce unnecessary costs.
Quality improves
If you assemble the output parts, you can perform pre-verification before mass production and improve the quality with 3D printing technology.
What used to be a combination of small parts can now be manufactured as a single model using a 3D printer. Therefore, the durability can be improved compared to the conventional product.
Ideas can be created immediately
In the past, even if you had an idea that you came up with, you couldn’t easily create it immediately, but with a 3D printer, you can easily create all your ideas. Because it is easy to use, it leads to the creation of better ideas.
No need to have extra inventory
In the case of production with a 3D printer, as long as you manage the data, you can produce as much as you need, when you need it. Even if you change or improve the product, you only need to adjust the data and you do not need to prepare a new mold.
With a 3D printer, it is possible to create shapes that cannot be processed by cutting.
If it has a complicated three-dimensional shape or a shape that does not allow the blade to enter the details, it cannot be handled by cutting. Therefore, modeling is possible by using a 3D printer. If you have a dual structure, it may be more convenient to use a 3D printer.
3D printers are cheaper than cutting
Even if the shape can be cut, in cases where it is necessary to sharpen a large amount from the plate of the material, at least the material to be used for the finished product must be prepared, which increases the material cost. In that respect, 3D printers require only the minimum required materials.
No additional work required
Even if you have a shape that requires additional machining after cutting, you can make it with a 3D printer in one operation. It can be said that by introducing a 3D printer is that you do not have to have many machines.
