Benefits of 3D Printing

1. Benefits of 3D Printing On several occasions, most people Google more about home 3D printers, how they work, their costs, and their challenges. A lot of articles project its benefits, and so are we. Let's discuss the benefits of 3D printing as reflected in various industries. Be it the field of lifestyle and sports, where the focus is on functional and customization integration for sports accessories. Or be it in the field of production and robotics, where complex geometries and functional integration are the buzzwords of the day. Here are the benefits of 3D printers; It offers economic benefits, especially in supply chain and design optimization: lower inventory costs through on-demand printing, lower material and freight costs through lightweighting strategies, and easier product customization. Furthermore, most suppliers in different industries must guarantee spare parts availability of more than eight years, which requires extensive warehousing with high cost. But with 3D printing on-demand printing of spare parts offers a lot of savings potential. It is of great essentiality to create and produce products in a specific way that conserves resources as much as possible. Especially in times of increasing raw material consumption and thus also rising prices worldwide. Snapmaker’s 3D printers make it possible to design and manufacture high-strength lightweight structures. These can be built and designed in a

2. way thus resource-saving way so that they are significantly lighter than components from conventional production. The current market has put manufacturers under pressure from various requirements and demands. One of those demands is the desire of a customer and the need for customized products. Producing such products has proven to be challenging, especially in terms of mass customization. But with 3D printer makes it easier to make little tweaks to the original design and produce according to the customer's desire. Another advantage that is generally not achievable with traditional printing is producing complex geometries, such as three-dimensional structures with undercuts or cavities. On the other hand, with 3D printing, the components are no longer determined by the manufacturing process but by the desired design and functionality. So long as a design can be made in a 3D CAD program, the 3D printer can produce it as the material is applied where needed. 3D printing is quite a technology for sustainable end products, made possible by the advanced Snapmaker printer’s technology. With this machine, you can only print what is needed; there is little production waste, no molds or special tools needed. 3D printing technology can also fundamentally reduce spare parts inventory. On-site on-demand 3D printing can also have a positive impact on the global chain of supply.
