Cost effectiveness of 3D printing technology

Advantages:

1. No need for molds: Compared with traditional manufacturing, 3D printing technology does not require the manufacturing of molds, saving the cost and time of mold manufacturing.
2. Intelligent production: 3D printing technology can achieve intelligent production and reduce labor costs.

Disadvantages:

1. Machine cost: The investment cost of 3D printing machines is relatively high, especially for industrial grade 3D printers used for large-scale production.
2. Material cost: Some 3D printing materials have a higher cost, which may affect the manufacturing cost of the product.
