If you think that 3D printing is merely a passing fad, and you don’t really need to worry about incorporating it into your business model, then you definitely want to think again. In fact, there are plenty of reasons to use a 3D fabrication service in Washington DC.
Protoypes
Before 3D printing came along, it could take a long time to design and build a prototype. However, with the possibility of feeding the blueprint software into a 3D printer and actually manufacturing the prototype in this fashion, it can take mere days or even hours, depending on the complexity of the fabrication.
Reduced Tooling Costs
The cost of handcrafting custom tools is significant, as well as the length of time it takes to do so. When you use plastics to create the tools via a 3D printer, these costs are dramatically reduced and the length of time it takes to actually fabricate them is only a few hours at most.
Reduced Waste
Many fabrication projects start with large blocks of metal. They are then whittled down using a method called subtractive manufacturing until the desired piece is created. While this certainly works, it is also very wasteful. When you use a 3D fabrication service in Washington DC, this waste is greatly reduced.
If you are interested in learning about other ways that this type of fabrication process can benefit you, please contact Concreteworks Studio East at their website. They will go over all of your project’s needs and offer you an estimate.
