3D printing Dubai has gained popularity over the past decade, and there’s been a significant rise in the usage of 3D printing in all industries. Because of its limitless 3D capabilities, 3D printing is making a number of headlines, even though the technology has been around since the 1980s and some might not be aware of the benefits and usage of 3D printing.
This article discusses some of the significant commercial advantages of 3D printing over conventional printing and how they have ultimately resulted in significantly greater adoption in the commercial sector.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, can fuse layers of printing via a laser and disperse melted plastic or similar material through nozzles. The technology essentially fabricates a product layer by layer based on a design file.
designed file is fed to the 3D printer to form the 3D model. These models are used in numerous industries, including 3D printing in construction, healthcare, aerospace, and defense, that have been experiencing transformations within key areas of their businesses that can be attributed to the expanded digital infrastructure, material development, supply chain maturation, and greater stability within additive manufacturing technologies
Advantages 3D Printing Over Traditional Printing
Creating complex geometries
The ability to create components and parts with intricate designs is one of 3D printing’s biggest benefits. Digital design means that products are no longer constrained by geometric complexity. This enables producers to create components that are both stronger and lighter
Customization
3D printing gives the possibility of mass customization here it doesn’t require any complex manufacturing tools and the design can be easily modified. This is beneficial for businesses because they can create unique and highly customized products with minimal effort
Cost Efficient
3D printing is cost-efficient for businesses as it reduces the number of materials and tools needed to produce each product. This makes 3D printing an ideal solution for businesses looking to save money while reducing their environmental footprint
Rapid Prototyping
The creation of a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three dimensions requires only a digital design. This gives businesses the opportunity to have multiple tests and trials before launching a product.
Tooling
Products with intricate designs can now be produced using just one machine thanks to additive manufacturing. By doing this, the process’ overall step count and the amount of tooling required at each step are both reduced. Making the finished product is quicker and requires fewer parts. Furthermore, 3D printing uses fewer raw materials than traditional manufacturing method
Eco Friendly
It is clear that 3D printing processes have a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach than traditional manufacturing methods. In most cases, in the process of traditional manufacturing, more than 90% of the raw material gets wasted.
Whereas the 3D printing process follows adding materials layer by layer to create objects from the raw material, which helps cut down on raw material waste in the process. Ideally, most of these raw materials can also be recycled and repurposed to create more 3D-printed objects. This is incredibly beneficial in the long run, as the cost of raw materials is significantly lowered when they are reused and recycled instead of having to be purchased brand new
At C3D, our main focus is sustainability. Although 3D printing in itself is a sustainable process, we further want to enhance this by using recycled waste, especially plastic, in our manufacturing process. Having gathered the right technology and machinery, we are able to create desirable greener solutions for our customers and help them achieve their sustainability goals.
