Now that 3-D printing is safely beyond the hype phase and has become an established part of many companies’ product development and manufacturing processes, there has been a greater understanding of the technology’s technical and business advantages. With that, more users are benefitting from lighter and more durable parts, increased design freedom and on-demand part production.
But that’s just scratching the surface of 3-D printing’s potential.
There’s still room to maximize the technology across their entire value chain, from design and engineering to the production floor and beyond. In a hypercompetitive industry like manufacturing, it’s important to leverage all the tools at your disposal.
