In manufacturing, time is money. With a 3D printer, jigs, fixtures, and other tools can be produced on demand, on location. This means faster machine setup, less variation during assembly and fitting, and smoother production processes.
This guide will help you achieve the benefits of 3D printing as quickly as possible.
Using Ultimaker fused filament fabrication (FFF) printers as examples, we will look at:
- How to set up your printer and optimize your workspace
- How to implement a 3D printing workflow
- How to make the most of 3D printing, with application ideas
This guide has been created by Ultimaker’s 3D printing experts. It features examples from real-life manufacturers, so you can learn from those already using 3D printing to reduce production time and costs.
