Problem-Solving Materials: Utilizing 3D Data Part 6 | Shortening the Development Cycle

Reduce the costs associated with prototyping! How to effectively utilize two prototyping tools? A resource for discovering and solving challenges in the production site.

This document is a series that proposes solutions for various challenges faced in production sites, from identifying issues to finding solutions. In the "3D Data Utilization Edition," we will introduce various solutions to manufacturing challenges through the use of 3D data. In Vol. 6, we will focus on "Shortening the Development Cycle" and discuss improvements in the prototyping process using 3D modeling tools. [Document Overview] The internalization of the prototyping process is making significant progress alongside the trend of shortening product development cycles, such as reducing the number of prototypes through the use of CAD and CAE analysis. However, in prototyping with widely used 3D printers, we often hear about challenges such as: - Inability to evaluate with desired materials - Dissatisfaction with precision - Excessive costs for maintaining equipment To address these challenges, an increasing number of people are considering the use of "modeling machines." This document introduces the features of "3D modeling tools" that achieve cost reduction and shorten the development process. It explains the scenarios in which the two tools, 3D printers and modeling machines, excel and struggle. *You can download the document using the button below.
