99 3D printing order is hand

In textbooks, a technical research of industrial products from the initial to final mass market 14 links to experience as much of the industrial design process.

There is a procedure called "premium", which is the current 3D printing are a commercial link.

Palm is also known as "Board" refers to the absence of mold cases, make several product model based on product drawings, mainly to validate products, including appearance, structure, and function. Because of this model first hand-made only by an experienced technician, scientific name "hand". But now the mainstream is made by CNC machine tool CNC Board, using 3D printing production hand is now advanced. iPhone 5 case Ted Baker

3D printing service providers in Shenzhen told me that their orders are printed by 99% hand.

3D printing was born does not need to die, this is undoubtedly the ideal way to hand production. But on the other hand, industrial design agency told me that 10% not only hand-made using 3D printing to produce.

Why? Ted Baker iPhone 5S case

Take a look at a successful 3D printing production hand in the case.

A lock product handmade story, took place this year. The lock is manufactured using special metal, used CNC machine tools to cut out of the traditional Board, materials are usually nylon, PC or ABS--these materials cannot verify the feasibility of this lock design. So how can this special locks before design? Only work to improve detailed paper case, jumped over board directly making molds, mold casting producing a prototype to verify. This faces a risk, if indeed there were design flaws need to be adjusted, then set the mold costs of a few million boondoggle – on the audit, this is called a sunk cost.

So that's why Europe's top safe than placing their Villa or expensive – more than half of all research and development costs "sunk."

But I have heard of this story have a brighter ending. Using 3D printing, 3D printing service providers directly in the design company provide customers with special metal raw materials are processed into powder, according to the details of different design drawings to print out multiple samples at the same time verifies, ultimately determine the most effective design. If the first batch of all product design are not validated, and then adjust the design time can also control sample again in a week's time. Finally it takes a year or even longer in the past design only two months passed the inspection.

"3D print samples, not just the look, it has to be is the first product, with all the products should be. "A company boss said to me. In his view, the traditional handmade, only infinitely approach product prototypes, this "approximation" to validate the product, there is room for error. 3D printing can directly output product. Consider means "trial and error", then nothing is more accurate than the finished product to trial and error.
