Key principles.
3D printing enables
3D printing enables complex geometry impossible to machine.
Cast geometry
Cast complex shapes. Reduces multi-piece assembly.
Multi-shot
Multi-shot injection combines materials in single part.
Trade-offs
Weld assemblies vs single-piece machining. Cost crossover.
Eliminate fasteners
Snap-fit features eliminate fasteners.
Supply chain
Fewer SKUs, simpler supply chain.
FAQ
Multi-piece assembly with significant labor. 3D printing enables once-impossible consolidation.
Material + processing per consolidated part. vs Material + processing × multiple parts + assembly + fasteners.
Generative design + 3D printing creates organic optimal shapes. Aerospace, medical applications.
Single-piece failure replaces full assembly. Multi-piece allows individual replacement. Trade-off.
Low volume: consolidation 3D printing wins. High volume: traditional manufacturing scales.
Aerospace brackets, medical implants, automotive structural parts. 30-70% mass/cost savings typical.
