Take Control of your Supply Chain with Additive Manufacturing

by Alexander Hussain

It seems that 2020 is the year of Supply Chain problems. 

From COVID delays, to trade wars and increased shipping fees (with longer delivery times) the global manufacturing supply chain seems to be in a tailspin.  As a business leader it feels like manufacturing and supply chain issues are completely out of your control...but, what if I told you that it does not have to be that way?

 

At 3DChimera, we specialize in helping businesses implement additive manufacturing to help grow the bottom line.

Traditionally, the role of 3D printing has been focused on speeding up time to market for engineering teams, by allowing for faster product development with ease of access to iterative prototyping and design.  When we could rely on our partners, either overseas or right here at home, this extra speed on the front end meant that your business would have an edge allowing you to get to market faster and more efficiently than your competitors.  

Unfortunately, as the foundations of outsourced manufacturing are crumbling, it is your business that is suffering, unable to see the expected benefits of faster and more efficient product development.

Just a few years ago, 3D printing (or additive manufacturing) did not have the capability to replace traditional manufacturing at any scale unless you had a multi-million dollar budget...but, not anymore.

With the introduction of affordable 3D printing technology, it is possible to build parts quickly that have equivalent (often superior) mechanical properties to components manufactured with the traditional techniques like injection molding, machining or casting. The 3DChimera team has been working hard to identify to best tools to help our customers take back control of their supply chain.
