1 USE CASE | DISTRIBUTED PRINTINGP roduct development in most companies requires a sequential iterative process to come up with the right product. It can be time-consuming and time is a resource that is in the shortest supply. Production of parts is also subject to delays having to wait for tooling, production line and assembly setup means that opportunities are missed in rapidly changing markets. Back ordering, minimum order quantities (MOQs) and holding inventory are all costs of business that need to be minimized or eradicated for full profitability. The modern agile manufacturer is now using 3D printing technology to take advantage of market shifts and narrow windows of opportunity. 3D printing enables very fast prototyping of parts for the product development process. It also transforms how manufacturers make end-use products: with less reliance on a centralized factory producing exactly the same product, turning instead to distributed manufacturing points that produce end-use parts locally.
manufacturing operations to meet customer needs rapidly and effectively empowers engineers to deliver more value and quality in the product development process. POWERING THE FOUR PILLARS OF …
