The impact of 3D printing on commerce and product creation

3D printing is one of the most innovative technologies the Digital Age has to offer. It is now being used by more and more industries. In addition to medical technology and mechanical engineering, manufacturers of individually usable consumer goods, such as sneaker producers, have long since turned to this technology. And this printing also offers completely new solutions in store design and counter design. This opens up an interesting potential for all decision-makers working in retail or production. So far, however, not all companies are really familiar with 3D printing. This is your chance to gain a tangible advantage over the competition. But what does 3D printing actually do and how exactly can it be used?

The new printing method is sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing. In this type of printing, a wide variety of components are used and assembled into a finished object based on a virtual 3D model. You can use this printing to make tiny parts that need to fit exactly into a larger whole, as well as to make objects fit perfectly to a specific shape. The first is a major advance in the manufacture of mechanical medical devices, for example. For the manufacture of high-quality hearing aids, 3D printing is a major breakthrough. The second offers quality improvements in any production where the shape needs to be adapted to a body or use in a specific environment. Think, for example, of shoes that can be perfectly fitted to a particular foot.

Third, this printing method ultimately allows you to decorate spaces in a unique way – and it could completely transform brick-and-mortar retail in the near future. Therefore, it can also be used in the design of store fronts.

In all cases, printing of this type is extremely cost-effective. You can simply have the required parts printed on site. But this also names a new challenge: This type of printing may eliminate the need for certain delivery in the future. So while 3D printing offers new opportunities for retailers to act, it also threatens other branches of commerce. If you position yourself properly and get ready for the Digital Age, you can set up your production to take advantage of the opportunities and be well prepared for the challenges. After all, despite new manufacturing methods, retail will continue to exist in the age of 3D printing. But it will change significantly.

BONUS: With this course, you will receive the accompanying eBook for free! What does it offer you?

This eBook will provide you with a comprehensive introduction to 3D printing. Even if you have not yet dealt with the topic or should not have a great technical background, you can use it to familiarize yourself with this new technology. The individual sections of the text introduce you step by step to all the important potentials of this innovation of the digital age. They build systematically on one another and work their way from a basic understanding to increasingly complex contexts. Therefore, you should read the individual sections in the order in which they were arranged in the eBook. However, if you already have extensive prior knowledge in one of the topics discussed, you can also skip this section and continue with the next.

The first section provides you with a basic chapter that introduces you to important fundamentals of technology. Here, you will first learn something about what 3D printing is and what special innovation potential it can offer specifically for retail and product creation. This is followed by an explanation of some of the legal framework conditions that are important in the context of this printing method. The second section is then devoted to the specific innovation potentials offered by 3D printing. To this end, both the role of this technology in prototyping and its use in the creation of high-precision miniature parts are addressed. Finally, the opportunities for improved on-site production resulting from this printing are explained.

The third section is devoted to the opportunities for customization of production that arise from 3D printing. They form some of the key opportunities that 3D printing offers you. In this section, you will learn about the possibility of customizing goods according to consumers’ wishes, optimizing the shape of a product, and new opportunities for cooperation between manufacturers and designers. All these potentials are given to you by modern 3D printing. You just need to know how to use them.

Finally, in the fourth section, you will get an insight into the changes that 3D printing can offer to brick-and-mortar retail. Here, you’ll learn about the new design of counters and retail spaces, and how you may soon be able to offer your customers a whole new shopping experience with the help of 3D printing. Areas such as push-button ordering and a transformed relationship between manufacturers, objects and customers are also addressed in this part of the eBook.

The fifth section informs you about 3D printing as a cost factor. In fact, the new technology can enable cheaper production. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that you do not have to order parts needed for the manufacture of products from far away, but they can be printed on site. On the other hand, modern 3D printing allows individualized mass production. You can derive economic benefits from both advantages. However, you must bear in mind that copyrights also apply in the context of printing virtual models. The eBook will also draw your attention to this legal aspect of 3D printing.

In the last section you will find a short conclusion. This recapitulates the main theses of this eBook. In addition, it throws a small outlook on possible developments that could arise from 3D printing in the coming years. At the end of the eBook you will find a list of technical literature. The books listed have provided useful input in the creation of the eBook. They can also serve as a point of contact for you to further explore the topic of 3D printing.
