3D printing is one of the most vital technology of the Industrie 4.0 and it is the technology which will going to revolutionize the whole manufacturing process including construction.
makerbot. our goal was to change the game and bring 3-d printing to people. now, makerbot 3-d printers are part of the standard equipment at most maker spaces, and he is the maker they all want to be. you can become an entrepreneur, express your ideas physically and if they catch on in the world, you ve got a business. getting new customers shouldn t be your only focus. retaining your current clients is just as important, if not more important, so here now are five tactics for increasing brand loyalty from entrepreneur.com. one, feature your fans in your content. putting them in the spot light shows you appreciate them. two, take customer advice. create polls and offer incentives so that your fans will participate. if you end up making a change based on the feedback, give them credit for coming up with the idea. three, give upgrades. if they re actively engaging
turning people with little to no experience into entrepreneurs. coming up with an idea that makes the square a device to allow credit cards work better. between the square and your ipad and keeps it from turning around. i had a proper prototype made and showed it around. big hit. people need it. people want it. so next question is, where do i have this made? i go to china. i look at injection molding. i found that the best case scenario was $4,000 to $6,000 to have molds made and they wanted to charge me 35 cents a piece. take a couple of months to get up and running. instead, he got a maker bot. he makes them not to prototype but actually manufactures them on his desk at home. puts them in bags and staples them and people order them on his website and he ships them out. i got a tool instead of a dye. that tool makes all sorts of
tell me a little bit about the economics of it. to buy a maker bot or to put something on shapeways versus going and manufacturing it yourself the traditional way. it really depends on type of product, the volumes, the size, the complexity. typically, if it s relatively low volumes and very complex, then that s when there s a good match. and also relatively small. they don t do well with big parts because they take so much longer. you can do big parts by getting the expensive machines and assembling. but it really is on a case by case basis. for prototype, especially for scale models, but when you go into production with these types of machines, you really have to carefully evaluate the type of part and the volumes and materials as well. how much does a maker bot cost about? it s in the range of depends. they have more than one version. in the range of $1,500 to around $3,000. there s a lot more brands, all the way down to as low as $200, up to around $3,000, $4,000, and then y
