RISE oF ON-DEMAND 3D PRINTING
The expensive nature of 3D printing has been commented as a major obstacle in the growth and advancement of 3D printing technology. Today cost can be assumed to be secondary issue as it has been decreasing gradually and steadily. Affordability refers to the availability of 3D printing services for various kinds of materials. If engines, electronics, electric motors can be imprinted upon by a single device then the product capable of doing so will be a complete working machine in the field of 3D printing.
Cuckoo clocks have already been prototyped with the help of 3D printing services. It revealed that printing on items which are not connected is also possible but only if they are assembled. The enthusiasts are continuously striving to develop something that can be effective for wide range of materials such as glass, boards, metals, etc.
3D printing has been established to create prototypes. Both functional and finished products can be created with the help of 3D printing as 3D printing is also involved in additive manufacturing. Several companies have adopted this method making it a popular one in the industry. There aremany organizations that have invested in and are deeply involved in the advancing this technology. Lockheed Martin, Honda, GE Aviation, Boeing are some of the companies who have even utilized3D printing services manufactured parts.
Durability, waste reduction, parts’ physical properties are factors which are more considerable than cost of the additive manufacturing and its affordability for these organization.
Traditional system of manufacturing has always lead to high wastage volume. Metals are an exception to this statement. When materials are made to attain certain shapes out of them, huge quantities get wasted in the process which cannot be used again in most of the cases. In 3D printingmaterial is used appropriately and according to the amount required. Moreover, design making in a hollow structure seems fairly easy too. The item which is produced as a result isnotonly light but is produced with considerably less wastage. Proper and intricate designing can make the product fairly strong too making it ideal for aviation utilization.
Labor intensity is a major concern field of 3D printing. Assembly with low labor intensity is required to get a finished product. It is also possible to make products which properly fit in shipment packaging. In fact, even printed packaging is also possible with this technology.
Product shipment is one major concern in the field of 3D printing.3D printing services can have huge positive impact on the savings from the shipment department. Effectiveness of countries similar to China due to their laborabundance can also be challenged through this technology.Manufacturing will not be dominated by China and like countries if the labor savings and shipment cost can be brought to the same page.
Huge quantities of production, which always remains a concern for gaining desired amount of profit, can also be eliminated through the properutilization and implementation of this technology. The manufacturing units will then be able to produce less number of copies of large number designs with same efficiency of producing large number of copies of less number of designs.
As a result, manufacturing units will get established at places near to the area of consumption. This will reduce the number of issues to only one, i.e. the land price. Also, the predictions of manufacture of products from home can become a reality.
