The document provides information about 3D printing including its benefits, when it should and should not be used, the process, potential cost savings, challenges, and how to adopt and justify it. It discusses identifying applications for 3D printing, engagement models (in-house vs outsourced), and technology selection. Examples are given of companies that used 3D printing for pump parts, filters, and personal care products, reducing costs and time.

Why should you use 3-D printing?
When should you use and NOT
use 3-D printing?
How can you adopt 3D printing?

6. What is the 3-D printing process?
3-D printing optimizes raw material utilization
How is it different from conventional manufacturing?
The process of creating a product by adding materials layer by layer - Additive Manufacturing
The process of creating a product by removing raw material to carve out a shape - Subtractive
Manufacturing

8. Yes, the benefits are revolutionary indeed…
Wow, the benefits
seem too good
to be true!
But can everyone shift to 3-D printing?

9. You can consider 3-D printing IF you have..

High design complexity involved

Requirement for small-lot production

Requirement for shorter product development cycle time

Requirement for providing customized products
How does 3-D printing fit into your business strategy?

Company A
How 3-D printing can help:
• Cost savings on raw material
•Enables rapid prototyping
•Supplements capability
•Reduces down time
First Mover Advantage
•Better proximity to demand market

•Design flexibility

11. •Manufacturer’s control over the raw material used
•Premium charged for processing cost of the raw material to make it ready for 3D printing.
High Raw material cost
•Cost of industrial 3D printers range from $50,000- $200,000+
•Prices are expected to come down with increasing application.
High Cost of
3D Printer
•High Speed Sintering (HSS) technology is the upcoming technology to overcome the slow speed of printing.
Slow 3D
Printing Speed
These three challenges are bound to reduce as 3D printing is widely adopted

12. To justify the adoption of 3D printing, buyer should

Identify the application of 3-D printing in your organization
Identify the right technology for 3D printing
What do you need it for? –Rapid Prototyping or Rapid Manufacturing
Based on:
•Print speed and accuracy
Identify the right engagement model


•Resolution
•Raw Material Properties required
12

13. In-house Model:
Purchase from 3-D
printer supplier
Install 3-D printer in your production house
Design and create 3- D printed products
Buyer should consider in-house model when..
Product requires constant or frequent design iterations
Product design is confidential and cannot be shared


This model is apt for high-value and patented product
13

14. Out-sourced Model :
Approach 3-D
printing service provider
Send your design to
supplier from remote location
Supplier creates 3-D printed products
Buyers should consider out-sourced model when..
They want to adopt a decentralized manufacturing model
Their requirement involves using variety of raw material for 3D printing


This model is apt for low-value and highly customized requirement
