Why 3D Printing?

3D printing is a technique in which a product is built up layer by layer. Different printing techniques can be used, so that almost every part can be realized quickly and at relatively low cost. That is one of the biggest advantages of 3D printing.

The technology makes it possible to quickly print prototypes or even end products. It is therefore no longer always necessary to have an injection mold made, which immediately results in enormous cost savings.

Below you will find a more detailed explanation of the biggest benefits of 3D printing.

1. 3D printing is for everyone

To have a 3D print made, not much more is needed than a digital 3D design. This makes this technique accessible to almost everyone! Whether you want to print an entire production series or are looking for a single product that is especially personalized for you, it is all possible with the 3D Printing service from 3DWise.

2. No Minimum Order Quantity

The production of small numbers of products under 2000 pieces can be expensive. Making an injection mold alone can easily cost thousands of euros. By using our 3D printers you no longer have to make this large investment.

We do not have a minimum order quantity, so you can also have small numbers of products printed! Making prototypes, but also producing small dynamic series will therefore be a lot cheaper when you use the innovative technique of 3D printing.

3. Design is easy to customize

The technique of 3D printing, in contrast to the use of injection moulds, ensures that adjustments can easily be made in your 3D design. This makes you much more flexible, because you can have new revisions of the product included with the next order free of charge. This is not possible with an injection mold and a completely new mold will have to be developed.

4. Perfect technique for rapid prototyping

The sector in which 3D printing comes into its own is rapid prototyping. By using 3D printers, you can convert your 3D model into a full-size product in a relatively short time.

Before 3D printers came on the market, developing products was a time-consuming and, above all, a very expensive affair. Having a product produced after every revision or even having new injection molds made is anything but an efficient way of developing. A lot of time and money had to be put into each version of the prototype, with the sole aim of seeing if it works and fits as well in reality as it does on the drawings.

With the advent of 3D printers and CAD programs you can theoretically go from design to product within one day. By using this service you immediately have an advantage over your competition.

5. Speed of the process

Depending on the type of product, the time that 3D printers need to build a product is quite significant. However, the alternative is to develop, make and test an injection mould, which has a development time of a few weeks and sometimes even a few months. This makes product development a very time-consuming process.

By working together with 3DWise you can have your product at home within a few working days (depending on the order quantity), so that you quickly have a picture of the result and can possibly continue with the development of the product.
