With a dedicated team of experts and decades of industry experience, we collaborate with you on application development and leverage the largest suite of additive manufacturing solutions in the industry to meet your specific needs.
3D Printing Applications for Consumer Technology
3D Printing Solutions that Accelerate Innovation
Partner with 3D Systems to Enhance Design to Production Workflows
Responsiveness
With 3D Systems’ solutions capable of 3D printing prototypes in less than 24 hours, OEMs can optimize their workflow to reduce the time between design iterations, enabling rapid order fulfillment and faster time-to-market. In-house production guarantees part delivery for a streamlined supply chain while our Customer Innovation Centers offer flexibility to increase capacity.
Design Flexibility
Optimally design, rapidly iterate, and manufacture highly complex parts. Components that were previously unthinkable to produce can easily be made a reality by leveraging 3D printing. Additive manufacturing delivers advanced parts with immediate turnaround and rapid product iteration capabilities, eliminating the time and cost of tooling.
End-Use Performance with Production-Grade Materials
Accuracy, precision, and mechanical properties are critical factors for product validation and end-use components. Achieve production performance with advanced 3D printing solutions and materials that deliver parts with final product look, feel, mechanical characteristics, quality, and performance.
Operational Productivity
Our end-to-end additive manufacturing solutions are designed to deliver industry-leading quality, reliability, and productivity to keep your operation running efficiently for high-volume production of prototypes, bridge manufacturing, and mass customization. Maximized uptime, reduced labor enabled by downstream compatibility with automation, and minimized waste contribute to a lower cost per part and high manufacturing yield.
Mass Customization
Designing and building customized components is part of creating next-generation consumer technology products. Tailoring these to the consumer can be costly with conventional methods. We facilitate mass-customization by giving engineers precise control over each component, to create a unique customer experience, with the capability to scale.
Sustainability
We focus on developing solutions to enable our customers to address evolving sustainability challenges, considering strategies such as advanced materials, production on-demand, and improved efficiencies through additive manufacturing capabilities.
