Is 3d printing suitable for mass production? We say Yes

As 3D printing is become one of the most popular ways of producing, ‘Testing, Rapid prototyping, Customized’ have become synonymous with 3D printing. Normally, we use 3d printing for prototyping, customized models, complex parts that other production can’t achieve. However, more and more engineers/designers find that 3D printing can not only unlock new products and reduce costs, but also speed up production to meet higher research and development efficiency.

Traditional inject modeling is very slow for starting production of a small batch, the unit price is high which means low profit, a few weeks-modeling makes the delivery time longer. However, 3D printers can produce immediately, and it also can reprint once when there is a change in the 3d drawings, so that greatly reduce time and cost.

 
 

When traditional machining can’t produce a complex prototype, 3d printing reflected the superiority of the unlimited. 3D printing also can avoid subsequent assembly requirements by integrating complex parts. As long as the parts are combined, less material, less cost.
3DPlink uses Stratasys F900, the max printing size is 914x610x914mm, the tolerance is ±0.2mm, close to the CNC standard±0.13mm. It can improve the consistency and accuracy of the parts, by optimizing design and manufacturing processes.

Although 3D printing has become more and more mainstream in recent years, there are many teams that lack of professional knowledge, which caused that they are hesitant to explore it, and don’t know whether their parts are suitable or not. Fortunately, 3DPlink is a professional 3d printing team with 17-year experience, we can not only answer your questions in the design and manufacturing process, but also help you minimize errors and improve parts consistency, and speed up production.
