“Thanks to 3D printing, pieces are really quickly available, which means we can test them within a few days, and make changes reactively.”

“3D Printing is an obvious solution for a start-up, especially if you follow the lean start-up approach. It allows you to cut time and resources on prototyping, thus to achieve a minimum viable product in no time.”

● Unlike CNC machining which is a subtractive process, 3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing is an additive process.

● Layers of material are laid down or built upon, layer by layer to build the object.
