3D printers are emerging as a key growing printing technology in the global landscape. In India, the market for 3D printers is at its nascent stage. However, it offers huge growth opportunities in the coming years
3D printing helps the industry think faster, innovate better and broaden up the horizons of manufacturing. It is an example of technology and manufacturing working together to become more flexible and scalable, ensuring enhanced efficiency and quality.
There has been a gradual shift from conventional manufacturing techniques to new and emerging technologies that provide higher precision and resolution, thus speeding up the manufacturing process.
3D printer software enable users to create digital models from which physical objects are made. Primary benefit of this technology is its ability to manufacture customised parts as needed without costly machinery or dies for casting.
3D printing is a rapidly growing industry. It has enhanced its value in diverse sectors such as automotive, healthcare, aerospace and defence (A&D), consumer products, industrial products, education and research.
Advantages of 3D printing
3D printing technology helps industries streamline design processes and lower production costs. Today, manufacturers across a broad spectrum of industries, including automotive, aerospace, dental, discrete, high-tech and medical products are all actively piloting and using 3D printing technologies. Prototyping continues to be the dominant reason why enterprises adopt 3D printing, providing the opportunity to speed up new product development and time-to-market.
3D printers facilitate manufacturing by:
1. Helping re-engineer lighter and better designed versions of existing parts
2. Being cost-effective for design changes
3. Allowing low-risk manufacturing for market testing
4. Promoting customisation and personalised products
5. Improving accuracy
6. Decreasing expensive mistakes
7. Promoting collaborative design between departments
8. Highlighting costly design flaws
