Is 3D printing worthwhile for our company?

That depends less on the technology than on the parts you buy, have milled or keep in stock today. Typical candidates are fixtures, gripper jaws, gauges, spare parts, prototypes and small series. We look at specific parts and show where 3D printing saves time or money – and where it does not. To be honest: simple prismatic parts in large quantities are often cheaper milled or cast.

Our advice is process-independent: FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF or SLM (metal) – we recommend what suits the part. In training, your team learns to design parts for printing, choose materials and evaluate supplier quotes properly. Those who print themselves also learn operation, maintenance and typical defects.
