Digital Manufacturing Guide: Accelerate Development & Reduce Production Costs

This comprehensive guide takes you from the moment you upload a 3D CAD model to your product launch. Get tips on how to navigate digital quoting, optimize design to reduce part costs, manage unpredictable demand, and more.

Accelerate development and reduce production costs to create agility throughout your product life cycle

Digital manufacturing is the complete digital integration of automation and advanced technology throughout the manufacturing process – from the moment you upload a 3D CAD model to when your physical parts are shipped.

Digital manufacturing is also much more than just 3D printing. It’s technology agnostic, including everything from additive (3D printing) to subtractive (machining) to formative (injection moulding) manufacturing, and any other fabrication processes that are enabled by software.

But really, it’s accelerated turnaround times, cost savings, risk reduction, unlimited capacity, parts on demand, when you need them.

This comprehensive guide covers how to:

  • Navigate digital quoting
  • Design parts to reduce costs
  • Launch products to market fast
  • Optimize for on-demand production
  • Manage unpredictable demand
  • Reboot your supply chain
