Micro 3D Printing is allowing manufacturers to disrupt the way that a product is designed, developed, and manufactured, key among the possibilities being the opportunity to take advantage of the way in which Micro 3D Printing allows for the design and production of extremely complex geometries in a matter of days
Micro 3D Printing is also much more agile and flexible than traditional alternative manufacturing technologies. Because no tooling is required, designs can be altered with little expense, and the potential for mass customization is now open to players in the micro manufacturing space.
Through the use of Micro 3D Printing , manufacturers can also optimize workflow. The technology produces less scrap and requires fewer tools than conventional manufacturing processes. It also promotes the reduction of iterative processes, assembly steps, and inventory. This means that significant operational cost benefits are now attainable at the micro manufacturing level.
Micro 3D Printing appeals to an array of manufacturers that up until now have not been able to cost-effectively or efficiently fulfil design intent using traditional manufacturing processes. In addition, being agnostic to part complexity, and therefore allowing the manufacture of hollow structures, holes, complicated interior details, and atypical shapes, Micro 3D Printing is promoting innovation and therefore is accurately described as a true enabling technology.
