To beat the competition, engineers must shrink development times, optimize product performance and traverse an ever-growing number of supply chain issues. This has made it a challenge to source parts for physical prototyping especially electric motor and motion systems. Sponsored by Parvalux by maxon.

3D printing, additive manufacturing, (and for those long enough in the tooth) rapid prototyping has been around in one form or another for 30 plus years. Its ability to in some way or another be disruptive for such a long time is reflected in the terminology used to describe it. But it is not all about cost and time savings. .
