1. Affordability: Because 3D printing uses only the necessary materials and requires no tools, it is one of the most affordable manufacturing processes for single-use parts or small batches.
2. Geometry: Band-Trongse 3D printers use computer-controlled nozzles to create part layers by layer, which can be used to create highly complex shapes, including intricate internal geometries.
3. Efficiency: A part can be printed in hours after being designed using CAD software, without lengthy setup steps.
4. Adaptability: Because 3D printed parts do not require tools, there is less risk involved in creating parts. If a problem is found after printing, it can be digitally modified without replacing expensive tools.
5. Environmental Factors: While 3D printers require electricity to run, there is generally no material waste involved. On the other hand, processing methods such as machining generate waste. There is no difference. It really is worth the extra cost.
How to Choose a 3D Printing Process
If you need help finding the right 3D printing process for you, you can establish a consultation and planning phase with our team of additive manufacturing experts.
All 3D CAD files you wish to print must be reviewed by the design and production teams so they can be optimized to meet design requirements. These requirements will differ between FDM, SLA, SLS, and SLM 3D printing, so be sure to optimize the CAD model for the 3D printing process you wish to use.
