While working at Smart Factory UAB, I had numerous meetings with clients and partners. Over the years, I noticed a significant shift in the 3D printing sector, and from that moment, the snowball effect began. Now I can confidently say – 3D printing is no longer just a tool for rapid prototyping.

Why did it shift?
First, it’s about cost balance and the education of engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders. (Remember those old photos of blueprint drawings that required an entire table for someone to draw by hand? )

Of course, 3D printing for prototyping still accounts for the majority of use cases worldwide, as it continues to accelerate product development. Engineers can now test and refine designs in hours instead of weeks, without the need for costly molds and tooling.

Another reason for its popularity is flexibility. Small-scale production and manufacturing on-demand empower clients to choose the size of their batches and invest only in the exact quantity of parts needed. And most importantly – customization. It’s now possible to produce 100 different part variations without additional expenses. The process is streamlined: timelines are clear, projects stay on track, and there’s no need for extra tooling or setup. Convenient, right?

3D printing offers the ability to create intricate parts from a variety of materials. Imagine manufacturing different components within the same service range. Whether you need us to manufacture components for finished products or handle the assembly, the possibilities are endless.
This leads to:
✔️ Optimized parts: Lighter components with the same performance.
✔️ Tailored materials: Custom solutions for specific projects, improving cost efficiency.

How to be a part of this snowball? Answer a few simple questions:
✔️ Do you need low-volume production or variable quantities?
✔️ Does your design involve intricate or customized features?
✔️ Is fast turnaround critical for your project timeline?
✔️ Would avoiding tooling and setup costs improve your bottom line?
