Today, 3D printing technologies are changing the way companies manufacture some parts. In fact, by integrating additive manufacturing into a company, it is possible to rethink the production process of various parts – from prototypes to end-use parts – in a more optimal way. According to Sculpteo\u2019s State of 3D Printing 2020<\/a>, 80% of the survey\u2019s participants have been using 3D printing for at least 2 years to create complex parts, multiply iterations, reduce time to market, and lower production costs. In another study by Dimensional Research<\/a>, it\u2019s 88% of stakeholders surveyed that agreed that the industry could save in the billions of dollars in production costs by adopting the technology.<\/p>\n

While the benefits of adopting 3D printing technologies are well documented, many companies remain hesitant to make the investment. Sculpteo\u2019s survey also reveals that 59% of participants believe that entry costs are too high and that there is a lack of knowledge in this sector to make a proper investment. So, when and how should a company invest in 3D printing? We asked three experts to tell us more about what a business needs to consider before making the investment. We talked to Dr Heiner Lang, member of the Board of Directors of BOSCH Rexroth AG, and responsible for factory development and automation; Christophe Eschenbrenner, 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace<\/a> Enterprise Senior Sales Manager at Dassault Syst\u00e8mes<\/a>; and Andr\u00e9 Venzal, Co-Founder of Rupture Tech Consulting, a distributor of additive manufacturing solutions thanks to its partnership with OKM3D<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
