Another significant advantage of 3D printing in manufacturing is its ability to create lightweight and durable components with greater strength-to-weight ratios than traditional manufacturing methods. This makes it possible to create more fuel-efficient aircraft and vehicles, as well as lighter and more comfortable prosthetics and medical devices.
Furthermore, 3D printing technology enables you to create jigs, fixtures, forms, molds and other tools that can be used to improve the workflow and efficiency of the manufacturing process.
