3D printing has proven improvements in efficiency and profitability across multiple different companies in the consumer product industry.
With rapid prototyping, the time between innovation to production is hugely minimised. Streamlining this gap is helping companies get their products to the market quicker than their competitors, ultimately allowing for profitability gains in the long run.
Using 3D printing as a means of efficient manufacturing reduces complexities in production. Manufacture times are reduced, less hands are required to man the process, all the while, the end product has greater customisability in material, pattern and colour.
