Rock Hill, South Carolina – For the past three decades, rapid prototyping has been synonymous with 3D printing. The technology has come a long way with faster printing speeds, true-to-CAD part accuracy, smoother surface finishes, and sharper resolutions. A wide variety of material options are now available from plastics to metals, and many can mimic production quality end-use products.
Compared to conventional methods, 3D printing offers several benefits in creating prototypes and models, including strengthening a product's value by compressing development cycles, reducing costs, and enhancing the final product's quality and design.
