The manufacture of short series (small batches) is highly recommended if the product should be on the market within a short period of time. Also, when it is a first version of a new idea or concept, or the evolution of a previous version.
The manufacturing of final pieces using additive manufacturing technologies allows to obtain pieces of polyamide (PA 12) without limitations regarding the geometry of the designs and without the need to invest in injection molds.
In both cases, the reduction of time and cost of manufacturing components is an advantage over other traditional manufacturing methods.
These generally present the problem of not being technically and economically viable for the manufacture of short series. Therefore, more and more, companies seek effective solutions through new technologies.
