Does 3D Printing Belong in the In-plant?

3D Applications by Industry

Let's look at how 3D printing could be offered by in-plants in some specific industries.

Insurance and Financial Services: Uh…you tell me. May not be a fit at all.

Colleges and Universities: If the university that your in-plant supports has an engineering department, it's a natural—and it's a sure bet that they already have 3D equipment. So why would 3D services be needed in the in-plant if the university's engineering department already has 3D equipment? Simple. The engineering department will not be the only department in the school that will want 3D services. What about a liberal arts college with no engineering department? Given the creativity of young people, even a college with no engineering or design course offerings will find plenty of need for 3D services.
