-
Three-dimensional (3D) printing builds the part in a usual
layer-by-layer fashion using an ink-jet printer to eject an
adhesive bonding material on to
successive layers of powders
- Three
Dimensional Printing as a rapid prototyping technique is a
reality, but the real challenge that the industry is facing
nowadays is the use of this technology for a large-scale
production of final parts.
- 3D printing is
technology suitable for the production of visual models,
functional prototypes, manufacturing aids, and end-products.
- A 3D printer in
the office or studio is always available for on-demand
production, bringing extra benefits to the business. Creating
customized jigs, fixtures, or spare parts can reduce
ordering costs in a manufacturing facility, while in-house
production allows for a ‘just in time’ approach to the
inventory, eliminating costly storage.
- The range of
materials that can now be used is vast, including plastics,
porcelain, ceramics, stainless steel, carbon, graphene,
titaniumand other metals
- 3D printers are
able to make different compositions of metal alloys to suit the
end-product needs
- A desktop 3D
printer can produce parts such as visual and functional
prototypes, tooling, manufacturing aids, and end-use products to
standards comparable with traditional manufacturing methods.
- 3D printing’s
greatest benefit is making individual parts fast, independent of
design complexity.
- 3D Printing
applications are in prototype manufacturing, Additive
Manufacturing medical devices manufacturing, Jewellery,
automobile parts, Fashion apparels, footwear and many others
- Thanks to more
affordable prices, smaller organizations are increasingly
joining in the exploration of applications. Some are even
purchasing 3D printers without a pre-defined use and setting up
small labs to explore new business
opportunities and efficiencies.
- Prototyping,
customized products and small production runs will keep driving
the commercial usage of 3D printers in the short term while new
niches develop. The range of enterprise applications for 3D
printing varies depending on the sector, but there are three
industries that are already experimenting or applying
3D printing that are expected to experience the biggest gains.
These sectors are the aerospace, biomedical
and consumer markets.
