WHY 3D PRINT IN METAL?
One of the biggest drivers for integrating metal 3D printing is cost efficiencies in the printed part, with businesses seeing savings of up to 98% on single applications, against traditional fabrication methods.
​
There are also a number of other high impact benefits:
-
Improve design: Using AM over traditional metal fabrication methods allows for bespoke design, and in turn, improved part performance. Also there is often a reduced need for assembly as the design can be adjusted to print in a single unit
-
Improve performance: produce more light-weight parts that are durable to withstand multiple testing cycles and loads
-
Reduced lead time & resources: reduce reliance on off-the-shelf parts, and save resources to print only what is required, rather than waste material from subtractive methods
