3D printing dates back to the early 1980s in Japan, when Hideo Kodama developed a rapid prototyping system, an early version of the stereolithography (SLA) machine. Now 3D printing is helping many companies transform their business models to become more efficient and agile as well as handle supply chain disruptions.

If you look at the supply chain issues that nearly all sectors have faced in recent years, many have diversified their supply chain and shored up their supplier network through near-shoring or friend-shoring , by moving production to a country with similar values and culture. There are lots of ways to build resilience.

When used as a prototyping technology, absolute adherence to tolerances and precise design intent is not always necessary, and a “good enough” approach can be taken. Hence the proliferation of quite inexpensive desktop 3D printing machines that provide sufficiently accurate rapid prototypes that do the job without needing to be pitch perfect.
