Why the UK needs low volume 3D Printing to thrive

With UK businesses developing their post-Covid bounce back plans, a new emphasis is put on innovation and invention. Identifying cost-effective, repeatable and sustainable technologies is important for businesses to thrive in our changed world. Low volume 3D printing and casting technologies in particular have the potential to accelerate the UK’s economic recovery.

AME-3D’s Production Manager, Lee Taylor,  who has over 20 years of tooling, production and prototyping experience, sees Low Volume Production and 3D Printing for Manufacturing’s role in the UK’s economy to be the following:

“UK companies  have only scratched the surface of innovation and product development possibilities. These are highly exciting times for designers, engineers, SMEs’ , start-ups and blue-chip companies as the full potential of additive manufacturing is yet to be unlocked. (…)

For the UK economy to thrive over the next 5 to 10 years, it’s important for the engineering and manufacturing community to share their know-how and skills; and to encourage UK businesses to explore new and innovative ideas with tried and tested technologies.”

Explore why the following areas will benefit from low volume 3D printing and empower UK businesses to thrive:

• Rapid Prototyping: Unlocking the R&D Opportunity 
• Final part production
• Hassle-free direct manufacturing
• Supply chain security
