3D Printing Cost Analysis Considerations. From Prototyping To Manufacturing With MJF (3D Printing Europe 2018)

As systems are improved and more materials are available, 3d printing usage in manufacturing is becoming more and more advantageous and widespread. However, this transition from prototyping to manufacturing is not immediate and requires a detailed analysis both on the costs and also on a new set of requirements and constraints that need to be examined upfront. In this talk we will go through this cost analysis and we will cover briefly these other main considerations that, depending on the application, need to be taken into account for this transition to be successful.
