Industrial Rapid Prototyping

Services for Industrial

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has come a long way since it was first developed in the 1980s. While 3D printing originated as a tool for rapid prototyping, it has now evolved to cover a number of different technologies.  

The evolution of rapid 3d printing has seen rapid growth in the number of companies adopting the technology. The applications and use cases vary across industries but broadly include tooling aids, visual and functional prototypes — and even end-use parts.

As the potential applications for 3D printing increase, companies are beginning to find ways to create new business models and opportunities with the technology.

In this guide, protomold company Proto Mold will take you to explore the current state of 3D printing across a range of industries, including how the technology is being used across sectors. Using real-life examples, we hope that this guide gives you an in-depth understanding of how 3D printing is being used to drive innovation and business growth.
