Be prepared for your 3D printing journey!

Additive manufacturing is becoming more mature within the production of end-use parts. It offers the opportunity to produce low to mid volume parts with shorter lead times, less costs and streamlined processes. With the opportunity to move to a digital inventory and on-demand production, manufacturers can moreover reduce inventory and logistics related costs.

However, finding the right technology and material for each product seems rather difficult with the amount of different additive manufacturing technologies on the market. In order to adopt 3D printing in a company, it is therefore important to understand the functionality, use cases and up- and downsides of each process.
This whitepaper gives an overview of the main 3D printing technologies, where they are used and what kind of materials can be used.
