Staying Self-Sufficient
One of the core aspects of 3D printing is that it is a gateway to creativity. Before the rise of additive manufacturing, any home business that operated in production had to take into account the costs of outsourcing for prototyping, and the potential for additional expenditure for making even minor changes. It’s not difficult to see how this can put shackles on self-starters with low budgets.
While we’re not yet at the point of all manufacturing materials being available to desktop 3D printers, the range is growing. An increasing number of machines are already being developed to handle multiple materials at once. This means that entrepreneurs can produce mock-ups of items made from ABS or PLA plastics, epoxy resins, steel, wax, and polycarbonates quickly and cheaply in their own homes. The ability to quickly and simply adjust, without awaiting shipping or production leads, takes a significant amount of time and expense out of testing early models of their products. ..."
