3D Printed Consumer Product Design - Reaching the Consumers Faster

Designers understand the paramount importance of 3D printing in product development process in this competitive environment. Numerous leading product designers have already integrated the 3D printing in their product prototyping stage. In modern product design, 3D printing has taken up the responsibility of being an end-to-end and cost-effective prototyping solution. Here are a few benefits of 3D printing for product design:

• forward
  Reduce Costs: Outsourcing prototypes takes days and is expensive. Every change and iterations to the design leads to additional costs. With Divide By Zero 3D printers empowers users to create prototypes in hours and create multiple versions, at a fraction of the cost.
• forward
  Rapid Prototyping: 3D printed consumer product design allows for rapid prototyping in the pre-manufacturing stage. Time saved in the prototyping stage helps businesses manufacture quicker and reach markets faster. Overall, manufacturers enjoy the benefits of lower costs and added agility
• forward
  Risk Reduction: 3D printed consumer product design approach helps designers test and identify future design and manufacturing problems. With 3D printing, designers get a real-life version of the product to study, improve, and optimize. This reduces risk by testing a design before making any tool investments. Risk of product idea leaks and violation of Intellectual Property (IP) can be minimized as prototyping can be done in-house.
• forward
  Real-Life Perspective: Drawings, blueprints, or digital 3D models cannot emulate “real-life” perspective offered by their 3D printed counterpart. This modern way of prototyping has provisions to incorporate human factors and ergonomics (HF&E) in design. These visually stunning prototypes can also be helpful in creating, presenting, and pitching new product design ideas, and thus creating more business opportunities.
