Misconception 5: “3D printing is only for startups, not enterprises”

The assumption? That additive manufacturing is simply a scrappy tool for early innovators who lack sufficient funding for tooling. But here’s the truth:

• Companies in automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and even consumer goods use Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) operations every day.
• Yes, MJF is used for more than prototypes—for spare parts, fixtures, and small batch production runs.

Because innovation does not stop when the company scales up. The market leaders who you think don’t need these capabilities still need:

• Quick testing cycles
• Bridge production right before tooling
• Local, on-demand spare parts

Innovation doesn’t care about company size. Although the largest enterprises only produce small batches of parts for production to keep them in the lead.
