3D printing (additive manufacturing)
directly from exported 3D CAD files enables
newly designed components to be rapidly prototyped. Physical parts can then be handled
and reviewed prior to final production. Ergonomics, together with the product look and
feel can be examined and quick modifications made if necessary. There are a range of
3D printed prototype technologies available, offering parts in a variety of materials. 3D
printed parts help inform technical decision making, to ensure the product meets its re-
quirements.
