    • Implementation strategy

    The introduction of 3D printing follows a three-phase approach. The initial phase focuses on rapid prototyping, speeding up the product development and design validation process. The second phase expands the use to the production of tools and production supports, optimizing existing processes. The final phase implements direct production of finished parts for specific applications, selected based on volumes, complexity, and customization requirements. Each phase includes dedicated staff training and definition of standardized operating procedures.

    Optimization and quality control

    The system integrates advanced quality control and continuous optimization processes. Material characterization protocols and process parameter validation are implemented for each specific application. Real-time production monitoring, combined with post-process 3D scanning systems, ensures dimensional and qualitative compliance. Complete digitization of the workflow, from design to production, allows total traceability and continuous optimization of parameters based on collected data. Particular attention is paid to standardizing processes and documenting best practices to ensure consistent results.
