Low-Mid-High
Volume Production
3D Printing Production Parts
As the production scales, there are different strategies and challenges associated with each volume category. Typically involves specialized or custom products. The focus is often on flexibility and quick adaptation to changes. This often involves a balance between customization and standardization. The processes might be semi-automated. At higher volumes processes are heavily standardized and automated. The focus is on efficiency, repeatability, and cost-effectiveness
How can this be done?
- Creates prototypes quickly
- Variety of sizes
- Great for form, fit and feel testing
- Standard, engineering and performance materials
- Full-color modeling
- Pantone validate capabilities
- Include sensory, functional and tactile materials such as the Rubber-like, High Impact (D-ABS), UltraClearS (glass like), VeroUltra™
- Creates multiple prototypes at one time
- Variety of materials
