London-based 3D People, a leading subcontract additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing service, has seen a surge in demand for agile manufacturing solutions as companies look to cut down lead times and avoid the inefficiencies of traditional production methods.
CHAMPIONING NEXT-LEVEL POST-PROCESSING FOR FLAWLESS ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
With additive manufacturing, one often-overlooked factor separates cutting-edge from cut-rate — surface finish. As manufacturers push AM to production-grade levels, 3D People, a leading UK-based subcontract 3D printing bureau, is taking a stand on why surface finish is the real game-changer in AM for production applications.
POST-PROCESSING & THE VALUE OF HIGH-QUALITY FINISHING
The conversation around additive manufacturing (AM) has matured. No longer is the fascination solely about how we build parts, it’s about how we make them fit for purpose. For AM to stand alongside traditional manufacturing as a viable production technology, post-processing and high-quality finishing must be considered as part of the process

Additive Manufacturing and Lead Times: How They Impact Each Other
Lead time is a critical factor that must be considered when evaluating the use of 3D printing. In this blog post, we will examine the ways in which 3D printing can reduce lead times in certain situations and the limitations that must be taken into account by engineers seeking to utilise this technology.

Threaded Inserts White Paper
As a designer or engineer, it is important to understand the limitations of a mechanism used within your product. For instance, how can you know how many fastenings to use without knowing their load capacity? This is why we underwent a study to evaluate the performance of threaded inserts in 3D printed polymer materials. The findings of which we have made available in this whitepaper.
