Rapid prototyping has become a game-changing innovation for designers, engineers and manufacturers. Previously, the process of creating wood or metal prototypes took weeks or months and the cost was often so prohibitive that designers skipped prototypes entirely and went directly from CAD to tooling. 

This resulted in design flaws that were not identified until manufacturing began, leading to expensive re-work and lost time. 3D printing now provides a cost-effective, revolutionary solution. 

This white paper will explain the top five reasons to integrate 3D technology into your product development lifecycle, including cost savings, higher efficiency, better integration and improved designs.
