1. Reduction of risks

Risk reduction of errors, wasted materials and wasted money. The realization of a 3D prototype allows redrawing and modifying more easily each model compared to the traditional method.

2. Reduction of costs

The process of traditional production requires a large staff while the 3D printer requires only one operator to switch on the machine before starting the automatic process. As a result, when we utilize 3D printing for production, the manufacturing costs are significantly reduced.

Traditional production methods are notoriously expensive while the process of 3D printing permits the creation of cheaper and more accessible products

3. Time to market

Reducing the production time from months to days is a competitive advantage of extreme importance. 3D printing allows developing ideas in a shorter time. In some cases, it might be possible to design and print more than one 3D concept in the same day.

4 Infinite possibilities in geometries

The limits of standard production have often hindered the development of some products. On the contrary, 3D production offers a list of infinite possibilities.

5. Low waste and material optimization

Costs might seem still high given the used materials, but the market is in a phase of strong growth and this allows for the reduction of price over time. Compared to traditional methods, the total cost is in any case lower because the production process is additive and not subtractive thus resulting in diminished waste.
