Digital fabrication involves the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software or 3D object scanners to design a digital model and convert it using printing technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting into a physical product. Key application areas of digital fabrication include automotive, aerospace, healthcare, consumer goods, education, architecture and construction. With increasing adoption of additive manufacturing for prototyping and low volume production across industries owing to ... Read more

Mass Customization Made Possible

3D printing and CNC machining are enabling manufacturers to offer mass customization by producing customized parts on-demand. Through digital fabrication methods, variations in designs can be incorporated without the need to reconfigure manufacturing processes or tooling. As designs are reproduced digitally rather than physically, there is no effective limit to the variety of geometries and features that can be integrated into products.
