The Use of 3D Printing

The Use of 3D Printing

The Use of 3D Printing – 3D printing was, at first, used as a means for creating cheap and quick prototypes. As technologies became less expensive, 3D printers found their uses in other industries.One such example is small-series productions. There are companies manufacturing low volumes of their products and the high costs related to high-volume production would not be justified in such cases. Therefore, 3D printing comes in as a more suitable solution. Another useful aspect is the fact that when you come up with an improved design, you can start producing it immediately, which means you can introduce new and improved products at a much faster rate than usual.We have embraced this approach with the production of our Original Prusa i3 3D printers.

When there’s a redesigned or improved part, all we need to do is to test it and then upload it to the printing farm system – the production can start pretty much immediately. Plus, we can also send the data to our customers, so they can print the parts themselves right away. The possibility of quick iterations is one of the biggest strengths of 3D printing.
