3D printing presents a unique paradox. Using additive manufacturing, it’s possible to manufacture geometries otherwise impossible with traditional technologies.
3D printing presents a unique paradox. Using additive manufacturing, it’s possible to manufacture geometries otherwise impossible with traditional technologies. However, designing parts that can be 3D-printed is not so straightforward.
How can you take advantage of the “3D printing complexity paradox” to create on-demand custom parts while saving time and money?
Xometry’s Director of Applications Engineering, Greg Paulsen, will present an overview of the most common additive (3D printing) and subtractive (CNC machining) custom manufacturing technologies, how they are used and the best practices on designing for manufacturability to help you optimize your custom parts.
In this webinar, Paulsen will explore:
- The strengths and trade-offs of modern 3D printing
- How to take advantage of “the complexity paradox”
- When a project is right for 3D printing versus CNC machining
- Key design considerations between technologies and materials
- How to streamline the entire quoting and ordering process in minutes
