Speed up Production with 3D Printing

Tooling is an expensive and risky investment when you’re in the product development phase, but with 3D printing you can produce jigs, fixtures, parts and products quickly and inexpensively.

Companies are now able to create precise models of an entire product or part in advance of full-scale manufacturing and production. Not only does this save on cost, it saves on time too.

3D modelling allows products and parts to be designed and imaged long before a physical one has been produced, allowing designers to make adjustments and alterations as the product develops whilst leaving an audit trail of the different variations the product or part has undertaken.

It’s common knowledge that 3D prototyping isn’t new to the design, development, engineering and manufacturing communities; it’s been around for years, creating interest and excitement throughout communities as the technology advances. 3D modelling has become more precise and a lot faster making it an obvious choice for product development. 

Being able to inspect and understand your product is a huge benefit when it comes to 3D printing, knowing the key features, characteristics and implications of the product provides flexibility when developing the parts for production.

You can have a sample of your product printed, developed and reprinted (a number of times) within a week which is much faster than traditional manufacturing where you would have to wait at least a month to see your product prototype once it’s gone through the manufacturing process. Not only that, if you get the design of your product wrong and you’ve paid for tooling costs, etc. it's going to be pretty painful to the person holding the purse strings for your project.

It goes without saying, 3D printing is perfect for product design and development: it’s fast, it’s easy and with BWC Profiles, it's a complimentary service!

If you’re thinking of setting up a new production line or you’re in need of a rapid prototype to help with the development of your product, try our 3d printing and rapid prototyping service.

We’re offering this service free of charge to anyone who requires a prototype or sample for extrusion. Find out more here or order your prototype using the button below.
