- [Instructor] If you're thinking about moving some of your production to additive manufacturing, you might want to find some ways to test it out first before committing a lot of resources. In this movie, we'll introduce a few different ways to get your feet wet. The other movies in this chapter go into more depth on a few options. 3D printing as long been associated with prototyping. Of course, that's still a good application. But other uses of becoming more feasible every day. Even if you're using a consumer-level 3D printer. they're increasingly sophisticated materials available. - [Narrator] Print quality is getting better too. Even at the lowest end price points. Prototypes to check fit and general function may be possible with a few hundred dollar printer. Even if your real product needs materials that are not available in a 3D printable form. A good candidate test object is something that can fail without it being a…
