Why use 3d printing?

Customization and Personalization

3D printing allows for the creation of customized, one-of-a-kind objects. Whatever you can imagine can typically be made with 3d printing technology
It can be used in applications of personalized products, such as custom-fit prosthetics, jewelry, and home decor.

Rapid Prototyping

3D printing is widely used in product development and prototyping. Without 3d printing it could take days, week, or months to make visual or functioning prototypes. Now these prototypes can be made within hours! It also reduces our carbon footprint and these services are no longer required at manufacturing locations or even long distance shipping.

Cost-Efficiency

3D printing can reduce material waste and manufacturing costs

Small materials that can break in any home usually required ordering parts or sometimes even discontinued which left a person to decide to try and fix it or buy a whole new item. With 3d printing that part may be replaceable and will usually be a lot more cost effective.

Reduced Lead Times

3D printing can significantly reduce production lead times. its role in just-in-time manufacturing and on-demand production allows the life of products to last longer.

Sustainability

3D printing can be more environmentally friendly by minimizing waste and using recyclable materials.

3D printing uses many different types of plastic materials. Some can biodegrade for instance making it more environmentally friendly. Even PET soda bottles can be broken down and reused to a 3d printer.
