3D printing is quicker than conventional manufacturing including injection molds and subtractive production. The explosion of 3D printing interests has brought easier to use software and hardware to consumers as more competition has entered the space. Traditional manufacturing methods can easily result in poor designs, and therefore poor quality prototypes. There’s no way seeing a product on the screen or virtually can compare to the actual feel of a prototype. 3D printing offers that benefit. Labor costs play a huge role in determining the amount of money to be spent in developing a prototype. Old methods of manufacturing rely on molds and cutting technologies to generate the desired shapes. Designing geometrically complex shapes can be hard and expensive with this technology. 3D printing takes on this challenge with ease and there’s not much the technology can’t do with the proper support material. And, When it comes to product manufacturing, a good designer knows that proper design verification is crucial before investing in an expensive molding tool. 3D printing technology enables product designers to verify product prototypes before starting out on substantial manufacturing investments that can sometimes be disastrous.
