1. Evaluate the strategic benefits that 3D printing could bring to your business through increased agility and reduced product development time scales.
2. Secure your data both internally and externally. If you need to share designs with third parties, use geometrical models viewed through web based viewers. This means that you can avoid sending sensitive design files which can be rapidly disseminated and easily exploited through 3D printing.
3. For added security, invest in your own 3D printing capability to print prototype designs in-house.
