The Economics of 3D Printing

June 2, 2018

3D printing is advancing into the realm of production, both in terms of work-holding to assist in machining operations and custom enduse parts. While the value of a printer may not seem apparent at first, executing the calculations will tell a different story. In production and manufacturing, productivity is directly tied to revenue and performance. By offloading manufacturing and therefore costs from production machines or services to on-site rapid manufacturing machines, you can save money as calculated by a Return On Investment.
