What if you could produce an entire batch of parts in the time it currently takes to print just one? For many manufacturers, the biggest inefficiency is empty space inside the printer’s build volume. Wasted space is wasted money.
How multi-part nesting reduces cost per part in 3D printing
Large-format 3D printers give you room to nest multiple parts into a single build. Stratasys notes that multi-part nesting maximises throughput, reduces per-part cost and optimises material usage. When manufacturers arrange multiple parts strategically, they not only increase the number of pieces produced per cycle but also minimise support material and waste. Yet many companies still print one piece at a time, leaving unused build volume and paying for more machine hours than necessary.
Benefits of batch production with DivByZ industrial printers
DivByZ’s industrial printers are designed for continuous production. The Aion 500 MK2’s dual servo extruder with auto-switchover keeps prints running without interruption, and the smart anti-clog system reduces downtime. When you combine these reliability features with a 500 mm-square build area, you can confidently nest numerous fixtures, gauges or end-use parts in a single job.
- Higher throughput: Produce multiple parts in one cycle instead of printing them individually.
- Lower cost per part: Multi-part nesting reduces machine hours and labour costs.
- Waste reduction: Strategic nesting minimises support material and optimises filament usage.
- Continuous reliability: Servo extruders with auto-switchover prevent interruptions during long production runs.
Real-world cost savings with batch 3D printing
Companies using DivByZ’s solutions have already seen dramatic savings. More than 1,100 organisations have switched from outsourcing to DivByZ’s printers, achieving up to 70% cost reductions. Motherson Group saved 75% on assembly fixtures, Harita Seatings reduced costs by 68% and a casting company cut costs by 80%. These savings aren’t only from faster machines; they come from printing multiple components in one pass, reducing labour and machine time.
