3 impactes da impressão 3D no futuro das manufactureiras

Três consequências, três impactes da impressão 3D no futuro das manufactureiras, tal como as conhecemos.

"3 Impacts 3D Printing Will Have on Manufacturing"
.
Customização
""What interests my company the most is the fact that you can create individual, unique products en masse," she said. "There's no need to do a run of thousands of millions or send that product to be injection molded in China. You can just make it physically on the spot. Which means that we can now present to the public the next generation of customization. This is something that is now possible today, that you can direct personally how you want your products to look.""
 Velocidade para chegar ao mercado
"His favorite example of this is with the case of New Balance Shoes.
"I always thought they were just a shoe company," he said, "but they're a fashion company. The changes and the sensitivity of that market are so quick that they have shows every month and they have to have new products for every show."
This means that to serve their customers and stay on top of industry trends, the company must design and manufacture completely new product lines every month. Each item in these lines requires customized components that traditionally took months to produce.
Now, Marangell explained, the shoes they are showing have "rubber soles that may have been designed and printed yesterday." There is simply no other way to meet these demands than 3D printing, he said."
Será que já faz sentido, para os fabricantes nacionais de solas, começar a trabalhar com impressoras 3D para avançarem com protótipos?
.
Eficiência
"There are also supply chain efficiencies to consider, added Harouni. "Now instead of shipping a product across the world, we're sending data across the Internet. Rather than orders being manufactured in remote plants, the product data "gets sent to a local manufacturing center [to be produced and shipped locally]. This means lower carbon footprint.""
 Um admirável mundo novo, carregado de oportunidades para uns e de desemprego para outros...
