📖 45 min read📅 March 22, 2024Manufacturing
Manufacturing facilities worldwide use 3D printing for fixtures, jigs, and end-use parts on-demand.
Production Applications
Assembly fixtures replacing $2K-$10K machined tooling. Custom work-holding for CNC operations.
ROI Examples
Assembly fixture: was $8K and 6 weeks, now $200 and 2 days (40x faster, 97% cost reduction).
Key Takeaways
- ✓Fixtures see 90-98% cost reduction
- ✓Same-day turnaround enables iteration
- ✓3D printing competes for 100-10,000 unit runs
