Shivang Aggarwal’s Post

Pawel Slusarczyk Let me offer a sincere apology if I took your article out of context or in any way implied that you have given up on 3D printing. I can see that you are a passionate advocate in this space. I found your article to be thought provoking and your conclusions spot on. As a customer of the 3D printing industry (I am not an industry insider) I welcome the recommendations you made for the industry to focus on reducing price and increasing speed. The intention was more of a comment on my recent experience as a customer, and I really did not intend to comment on the content of your article, your post simply stirred up some thoughts. Although I am not a 3D printing insider I have been utilizing 3D printing as a prototyping and new product development tool for nearly 25 years. As a new product design firm our focus is on the content of the product design, prototypes being a necessary part of our design process. We have extensively used FDM/SLA/SLS/MJF, all providing different advantages for different prototyping needs. Far from wanting to start a feud, I simply wanted to bring some recent positive experience into the conversation. Again please accept my apology so we can be cool! 😎

If you've been keeping up with 3Dnatives, you know that 3D printing technology offers endless creative opportunities. 🚀 If you're ready to dive into 3D printing yourself but don't know where to start, you're in the right place! We've created a brief guide on how to start 3D printing and a list of some of the best 3D printers for beginners. Check it out below 👇 ❓ What will you create? #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinters #3Dprinting #3Dprint

3D printing is the future of most manufacturing. SLA, SLS, and FDM are all incredibly versatile manufacturing and prototyping techniques. 3D printing provides you with: Flexibility: Because of the wide variety of materials that we can work with in 3D printing, we're able to give you the flexibility to decide what materials you want your product created in. Speed: 3D printing moves faster than many other forms of printing. This is because 3D printing simply requires a digital prototype and a 3D printing machine with the right materials. Cost-effectiveness: 3D printing uses materials that are relatively inexpensive, and the production of a 3D prototype requires much less interaction than traditional machining. This means that 3D printing can be very cost-effective, particularly for iterative prototyping. One of the big advantages of 3D printing is that it is able to work in the finest detail, deliver a product quickly, and create incredibly complex designs. Because it's all digitised and machine-run, the accuracy of the final product is extremely high. 3D printing provides you with the ability to prototype a new product in just days. By creating your design digitally, sending it to your prototyper, you can see the product literally being built from the ground up and have it delivered to you in a matter of days or weeks. This is an ideal way to do low-volume production. Do you use 3D printing in your rapid prototyping? #3DPrinting #Prototyping #Innovation #ProductDevelopment #Manufacturing

Gave Up On 3D Printing? I read an article this morning that referred to 3D printing as a dead end. The thrust of the article is that 3D printing has failed to deliver on it's promise to displace traditional manufacturing methods. The tone of the article surprised me. At Design Department Incorporated we utilize a wide range of 3D technologies both on internal equipment and through outside suppliers. I am impressed with advancement in the 3D printing. Here are a couple of very specific recent examples: 1. We purchased a Bambu Labs X1C FDM printer. The X1C is fast, reliable, prints in multiple colors and was purchased for ~$2k. I had been sour on lower cost FDM printers but the X1C made me realize that progress in this space continues. 2. We recently ordered some soft parts for a new medical device printed by Inkbit corporation. I was suspicious as the parts are 30A durometer. Getting 3D printed parts this soft in the past has been nearly impossible. The samples arrived and have exceeded our expectations. 3. We have also been utilizing Form Labs SLA printers for years with impressive results and outstanding overall reliability. Form Labs offers a wide range of resins and recently launched the Form 4 promising significant increases in print speed. 3D printing is far from dead, and although it's ability to fully displace traditional manufacturing methods is overblown, 3D printing is an invaluable tool for design, development, and low volume prototyping.

I'm replying just now because your post just appeared in my LinkedIn feed. And I'm replying that way, becuse of LinkedIn character per comment limitation. Anyway, I am the author of that article... -- EDIT -- Before you read any further, I just want to let you know that this matter has now been resolved. Mr. Patrick Tetzlaff has posted the right comment below, for which I am very grateful. 👍 -- END -- You say you are surprised. That makes two of us. I never would have guessed that my article would lead someone to conclusions like yours. I respect that. But I still think that the article says something different. As I mentioned – I base this on the fact that I wrote it myself. So let put the record straight: 1. I don’t give up on 3D printing. 2. I write a lot about 3D printing. For a long time. Sometimes critically. But always honestly. 3. It’s not 3D printing that "failed to deliver on its promise to displace traditional manufacturing methods." It’s the companies selling 3D printers that did. That’s what the article is partly about. 4. 3D printing as a technology not only did not fail – it exceeded all expectations. 5. Companies creating the 3D printing industry have often failed. Not all and not immediately, but generally they have. They promised things they could not deliver. First during the "consumer 3D printing revolution," and now during the "industrial 3D printing revolution." 6. The article is about something else… The article is about how companies focus on showcasing fancy 3D prints instead of putting stronger effort in adapting their technologies to the expectations of industrial clients. Damn, it really is written there. There's even a YouTube video attached as an example... I don’t want to start any feud, but in the review of the article on how to fix the 3D printing industry, I was put into the category of those who want to shut it down. Not cool, Sir.

3D printing is the process of creating a three-dimensional object from a digital file. It is also known as additive manufacturing because it involves adding material layer by layer to create the desired shape. 3D printing can be used to create a wide variety of objects, from simple prototypes to complex finished products. Here are some of the key benefits of 3D printing: Design freedom: 3D printing allows you to create objects with complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to manufacture using traditional methods. Rapid prototyping: 3D printing can be used to quickly and inexpensively create prototypes of new products. This can help businesses to save time and money during the product development process. Customization: 3D printing can be used to create custom products that are tailored to the individual needs of each customer. Reduced waste: 3D printing is an additive process, which means that it only uses the material that is needed to create the object. This can help to reduce waste and save money. 3D printing is a rapidly growing technology that is having a major impact on a wide range of industries. It is being used to create everything from medical implants to jewelry to toys. As the technology continues to develop, we can expect to see even more innovative and exciting applications for 3D printing in the future.
