10 Impacts of 3D Printing 10

11 Barriers to 3DP 11

12 12 When to Use 3DP? Business Performance Specific parts are built in low volumes or have high fixed costs associated with them; Special parts have long lead times, or manufacturers want to get new products into the marketplace more quickly; Reduce part count or boost performance beyond what is now possible.

13 13 When to Use 3DP? Supply Chain & Logistics High inventory storage costs suggest making smaller batches on demand; Time-sensitive parts are needed in remote locations with expensive shipping costs; High import and export costs eat into profits for simple parts; Reduce the leverage that suppliers hold over manufacturers by creating an alternative or replacement source for critical parts.
