The Value of Large 3D Print Machine in Custom Large-Scale Manufacturing

Each of the projects under the custom large-scale manufacturing is associated with its challenges. Design flexibility and production efficiency is a trade off that manufacturers must be willing to make be it a unique building design, a custom-built industrial equipment, or the equipment to serve a niche. With the old manufacturing methods, this balance is not necessarily readily attained, custom tooling is expensive and lead times are long and design changes are expensive. The other option is a mass-sized 3D printing. At Dowell 3D, since 2014, we have been literally working on the creation of flexible, multi-purpose and also cost-effective industrial 3D printing platforms. We offer our FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and FGF (Fused Granule Fabrication) technologies, new materials and our careful technical services to deliver remarkable value to large-scale custom manufacturing. Here is how.

Unmatched Design Freedom for Custom Applications

Custom manufacturing Often involves impractical or literally impossible geometries, which are not in fact accessible by standard methods. Curvy lines, living forms, fixated elements, and light interior structures, which are value added to the custom products, either are prohibitively expensive or are simply unmanufacturable by machining, casting, or fabrication. These limitations are actually eliminated through large format 3D printing. The printers employed by Dowell 3D are industrial scale such that engineers can bring any design into reality by converting the digital designs into physical reality without necessarily going through the limitations of the traditional tooling. This flexibility of design enables the manufacturer to provide really customized solutions that accurately satisfy client requirements, be it in architectural systems, highly customized industrial parts, or artistic one of a kind projects.

Cost-Effective Production Without Tooling Investment

The barrier to tailor made large-scale production is probably the tooling cost. The traditional techniques tend to be custom molds, patterns, or fixtures that can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and can require months to produce, and work in small quantities or single-off custom work is not economical. The 3D printing of large sizes does not have this impediment at all. In both FDM and FGF systems of Dowell 3D, the manufacturing firms are able to produce custom parts straight out of the digital data and no tools investment is required. Our FGF technology also ensures high cost efficiency through the use of the cost effective granular materials thus even custom projects of single pieces can be cost effective. This is a tool-free method that allows the manufacturers to undertake any number of custom projects without any fear.

Rapid Iteration and Responsive Design Changes

Custom manufacturing is hardly successful in straight line. The needs of the client change, design improvements are made and the conditions on the field might lead to changes. The conventional methods of manufacturing are the ones in which the changes in design are expensive and time-consuming and may need new tooling or a lot of rework. Experimentation is in fact embraced by Large 3D printing. In fact, the digital workflow of Dowell 3D provides an opportunity to make the design changes in a cost-effective and comparatively quick way since the new components are produced in several days rather than in weeks. We have skilled engineers and technical staff working with the manufacturers when such changes are needed and this gives them the flexibility they need when the custom projects are concerned. This flexibility is such that the end products can be in line with the actual requirements of the clients without failure of timelines and budgets.

Scalable Solutions with Comprehensive Technical Support

Large-scale manufacturing, which is custom, is a broad production spectrum that includes small-scale production batches and monolithic installations. The printers of Dowell 3D are produced with the large format to take into account the growth of their size. The large volumes of build and the selection of materials can allow our FDM and FGF systems to accommodate projects of various sizes and complexity. The other important area that is relevant is that of the wide support that we provide in the manufacturing process. In fact, our technical department is ready to give any customization and services requests like machine configuration, selection of material and post sales guidance. It is this responsive service promise that enables the manufacturers to take on ambitious custom projects with the assistance of the partner that is privy to the details of the large-scale, custom production.

Large-format 3D printing can be used in personalized large-scale manufacturing because it is able to offer design freedom and cost efficiency, rapid iteration, and scalable and supported production. Our determination to multivariate, flexible and cost-effective industrial solution, founded on our FDM and FGF technology, mastery of materials and unstoppable software development, facilitates manufacturers to make high quality custom products with no penalty at Dowell 3D. You must invent a bit of architectural work, an especial tooling, a special piece of industrial equipment, our technical department will be happy to help you postpone your most outrageous custom inventions into the market at a very low cost.
