17. Creativity and 3D printing
• Fill the customer needs according the correct material, tactile sensation and design
complexity
• Lower cost with design freedom will benefit both manufacture and customer = customer
satisfaction
Unique and exclusive design Printed in a extreme high-detail Unlimited geometry complexity

18. Creativity and 3D printing
• Easy modification adjustment to
fully satisfied the client needs
• More personalised design
• Complex designs can be made
rapidly, and can be quickly
altered and produced to fully
satisfied the client wishes

19. Creativity and 3D printing
• In the same 3D model can be
used different material
• Once the model is done, it can
be scaled up/down, re-printed,
modified in very short time…
