3D Printing
3D software is now commonly used in design practices. While you can design virtually in 3D, nothing beats viewing, holding and feeling a real 3D object. You can now 3D Print your designs.
3D Printers are not new. They have been around for at least 30 years. In fact, 3D Printers have been touted as being a vital part of the 4th industrial revolution. But back then they were expensive and not easy to use. It’s only since 2018 that they have become more affordable and powerful. The advantages of using 3D Printing for design practices are:
- Your clients can visualise your designs better
- Save time creating prototypes or scaled models
- Easily re-edit, re-use and re-print your designs
- You can test out complete 3D designs
While the cost of 3D Printers have dropped in price recently, starting up your 3D Printing department on your own can be costly. There have been many cases of the 3D Printers left idle, becoming white elephants. Our experience in 3D Printing comes from real hands-on assembling of large format 3D Printers from kits, using different 3D design and “slicing” software to get better quality prints and trouble shooting. We can help you by:
- Evaluating and selecting the 3D Printer best suited to your requirements
- Providing consultancy on how to set up your 3D Printing department
- Training your team on how to optimise your 3D Printing
- Trouble shooting complex 3D models for 3D Printing
