Prototyping With 3D Print

This Innovation masterclass will provide knowledge and information on 3D printing and rapid prototyping through a participative and provocative session working with PrintCity at Manchester Metropolitan University, drawing on their experience in new product development with two key objectives in mind:

• To identify and demonstrate the role of rapid prototyping, including 3D printing in new product and service development;
• To show how prototyping can reduce risk, cost, and increase market share and lifetime product revenues.

New product time to market is a critical factor that not only affects a product’s revenue and profitability but can impact the overall success of your company. The longer the period of missed time to market, the larger the lost opportunity, revenue and profits.

Considering that 79% of new products miss the launch date, companies have an enormous opportunity to increase sales and profitability by improving new product time to market. Rapid prototyping techniques significantly help reduce time to market and reduce risk through early user and supply chain engagement.

This practical session will include a demonstration of the facilities at Manchester Metropolitan University including their 3D printing and laser cutting technology.
