Born in the 80’s of the twentieth century, Additive Manufacturing technologies have progressively spread to an increasing number of applications, also including industrial sectors since several time.
Additive Manufacturing is deeply modifying the production logic,
and even more the development and industrialization phases of new products.
The impact of these new technologies is manifested in 3 ways, which bring as many advantages:
More Flexibility
The use of 3D printing has allowed to combine the speed and repeatability of serial production with the capability to carry out a fully customized “tailor-made” production, so manufacturing “unique pieces” starting from basic elements common to the entire series. In example, you can think about all the objects that have to adapt to the anatomical peculiarities of the human body (from clothing to medical prostheses). With minimal (even dynamic) variations to the same source file it is possible to replicate the same production process for objects that are different from each other anyway.
More Economy
The natural and quick evolution makes these technologies accessible at progressively lower costs: machinery and equipment require proportionally lower investments than in the past, and technological improvements allow to achieve suitable levels of productivity even with smaller machines.
More style
The use of 3D printing expands the possibilities of artistic expression of design: the previous technological limits (such as undercuts, drafts, shrinkages, etc.) are loosened, allowing the industrial-scale production of highly innovative style.
All of this is decisively reflected in every phase of the development of a new product
From style to industrialization, throughout the modelling of shapes and prototyping, these technologies allow to reach new development horizons, making it possible to produce on an industrial scale product featuring totally innovative and extremely functional style, up to one-to-one customization, preserving at the same time the sustainability of costs and the Return on Investment.
