Cases unsuitable for the use of metal 3D printers.
With metal 3D printers, it is possible to create complex shapes (such as lattice structures) that were impossible to manufacture using traditional methods, achieve greater weight reduction through topology optimization, and eliminate the need for welding or brazing due to the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing. The benefits are numerous. So, what are the cases where the use of metal 3D printers may not be suitable (potential disadvantages)? - When creating items that can be made using traditional methods such as casting, forging, or machining, the cost may be relatively high when using metal 3D printers. - If a high level of precision or surface roughness is required, additional post-processing may be necessary. - (Depending on the size of the printed object) it is not suitable for mass production. The important thing is not to focus on the disadvantages of metal 3D printers (or to think of them as a replacement for traditional methods), but to engage in product design and development that leverages the unique advantages of metal 3D printing. Our company formed a technical partnership with Tokyo R&D last autumn, establishing a system that not only provides 3D printing but also offers design advice.
