3D PrintingTransforming Conventional Manufacturing Practices
Smaller batches of production with high
levels of customization
Lower throughput compared to
traditional manufacturing. But faster
time to market
Demand happens parallel to production Demand Supersedes production
Eliminates the need to store finished
products based on forecasted demand;

To document, relay and realize demand
in real-time
Eliminates the need to store finished
products based on forecasted demand;
lesser storage space required
Manufacturers will store only the raw
materials to meet on-Demand
production requirements
Low-storage space requirements as raw
materials occupy lesser volume than
finished products
Raw materials for 3D printers
manufactured or procured and
provided by 3D Printer manufacturers
Wide choice of feed materials for a
broad range of commercial and
industrial applications.
