3D
Printers are less costly variations of RP technology that
are positioned as a design tool to create inexpensive
models early in the design process. The ability to produce
quick, inexpensive ABS models allows the designer to model
multiple concepts. Physical models produced on a Dimension
3D Printer allow everyone on the design team to review
the concepts. In turn, the company gets better feedback,
resulting in a better product. 3D printing allows companies
to achieve real time collaboration on a global scale.
