Why We Started Our 3D Printing Service

The key to successful manufacturing

introDUCTION

Why did we start?

You’ve probably seen some 3D printing ads or read about startups offering digital fabrication services. After all, the ability to print in three dimensions can accelerate product development, reduce costs and increase market penetration.

So why have so many companies started operating their 3D printing services? That’s because the value of a low-cost production solution that can quickly test new ideas and produce small batches of finished parts is now more apparent than ever before. This trend will only continue to accelerate.

Today, most manufacturers understand that investing in 3D Manufacturing Technology is now a necessity for success. However, not many understand why investing in manufacturing technology should be a top priority for any company’s growth strategy.

You can expect to see these results if you operate your own manufacturing services business. Keep reading to learn more about our reasoning behind starting our own manufacturing service business and how we’re seeing early results after just two months of operating as a 3D Printing Manufacturer.

What is 3D printing?

3D Printing Brisbane - Retrocast 3D Printing & Design

3D printing is the process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital representation using additive manufacturing techniques.

There are two types of 3D printing:

Fused deposition modelling (FDM) and
Stereolithography (SLA).

As a digital fabrication service, we provide customers with a low-cost way to quickly test new ideas and produce small batches of finished parts.

It’s also important to note that our goal is not just to be a 3D printing service but also to provide solutions for other processes that can benefit from 3D technology, like ergonomics or functional prototyping.

3D Printing uses Computer Aided Designs (CAD) to create the desired end-product. We can print in Plastic, Carbon Fiber & Metal Filament.

The Importance of Manufacturing Technology for New Product Development

Manufacturing technology can increase production efficiency and decrease costs, which means you’ll be able to market your new product more effectively.

It also helps you determine the demand for your products by expanding the number of customers who can purchase them and reducing the risk associated with manufacturing new designs and products in-house.

Another advantage of manufacturing technology is that it gives manufacturers a low-cost way to test new ideas and produce small batches of finished parts. This allows manufacturers to quickly expand their business by identifying a need for a new product, testing out different design variations, and then producing the final version in larger quantities.

Finally, manufacturing technology lets manufacturers create a brand by producing products that embody their company’s aesthetic or personality.

As such, 3D Manufacturing Technology makes it easier for companies to establish an authoritative presence and attract potential customers interested in what they offer.

Manufacturing & Innovation

3d Printing SOLUTIONS

The first reason for investing in manufacturing technology is cost savings. When you start your 3D printing project, you have complete control over your design process and product materials.

For example, if you could save up to 80% by using a low-cost production solution to test new products, it would be irresponsible not to take advantage of this opportunity.

Another reason manufacturers should consider outsourcing their manufacturing needs is the ability to reduce costs while increasing productivity with faster delivery of the project.

Other benefits include the speed of production and quality control, which will give you greater flexibility while speeding up your time-to-market. If a company wants to stay competitive in today’s competitive market, investing in the latest technology is necessary for success.

What are the benefits of using a 3D printing service?

Benefits of using 3D printing:

Lower cost of production due to greater use of automated production lines.

Reduced lead time from concept to market.

Minimum inventory requirements.

Increased product design flexibility.

Ability to produce complex geometries that are difficult or expensive to manufacture

Easier creation of complex moulds and parts with accuracy and precision.

Reduced waste.

How does using a 3D printing service reduce costs?

First, let’s be clear about one thing: 3D printing is not going to be the answer to all product development challenges, and vice versa. However, it can be an effective tool for some applications.

For example, if you’re trying to create a product design in a low volume, 3D printing can be more cost-effective than traditional prototyping. Additionally, you can quickly test new ideas, refine them, and produce small batches of finished parts. In short, 3D printing can help reduce the time and overall costs associated with product development.

What are some of the challenges with using 3D printing?

The excitement around 3D printing is palpable, but it’s not without its challenges.

For one thing, the technology is still costly and can be challenging to use. 3D printers are costly - we can print your project for you.

Some of the most popular uses of the technology include prototyping new parts and product moulds and producing complex parts quickly and at a fraction of the cost.

Small businesses also see enormous value in 3D printing for cost-saving product development. Instead of designing and creating hundreds of plastic samples, designers can produce multiple iterations using computer-aided design (CAD) software and we print them directly with our 3D printer using Carbon Fiber, Plastic and Metal Filaments.

With our 3D Printers, parts can only be printed one at a time - but this is a great solution for hard to find parts, or custom prototypes and product manufacturing. Submit a Product Concept Here
