Writes…”The fact that 3D printing can shrink a component from 60 individual parts to just five has a massive trickle-down effect throughout your supply chain”.
Additionally, “Hewlett Packard’s (HP) 500 Series 3D printer’s original cooling duct was made of separate pieces, but with 3D printing, they could consolidate it into one, reducing their costs by 30%. The innovation didn’t stop there; for their 12000 Digital Press commercial printer, engineers shrunk parts to only 21 3D-printed parts resulting in an 80% cost savings and 91% assembly reduction.”
