Frequently Asked Questions about 3D Printing
3D printing replaces tooling and enables rapid, cost-effective iteration. You can design, prototype, test, and even manufacture using the same digital workflow.
Brands are printing form/fit/function prototypes in-house, often within a day – to test ergonomics, aesthetics and mechanical performance, without waiting for outsourced tooling.
- Faster time to market
- Lower prototyping and tooling costs
- Greater design freedom
- Local, on-demand manufacturing
- Mass customization
Less material loss
- FDM®: for durable, functional prototypes and final parts
- PolyJet™: for colorful, multi-material concept models
- P3™ DLP: for high-precision, production-quality parts with excellent surface finish
- SLA (Neo®): for ultra-smooth looking models or precision casting patterns for premium products
- SAF (H350®): for high-volume, repeatable plastic production
Depending on your performance and surface requirements, you can use ABS, ASA, PLA thermoplastics; multi-colored and elastomeric photopolymers; or rubbery, translucent or rigid materials.
Most prototypes can be completed within 24 hours. Short-run production can begin immediately after approval – without tooling delays.
It enables the production of customized products to individual preferences – unique design and features, scalable.
3D printing reduces waste by using only the amount of material needed and enables more efficient manufacturing processes.
