Design For Additive Manufacturing
Lower Cost, Higher Performance
Remarkable products start with remarkable designs — especially when the design is optimized for the production process. Work with APX Rapid’s engineering team to achieve better surface finishes, tighter tolerances, reduced production costs, and more visually appealing parts. We leverage advanced digital tools to help bring your ideas to life efficiently and accurately.
Reduce Production Costs
Save up to 50% on part production costs by optimizing your designs:
- Reduce part mass and bounding box size
- Add lattice structures or ribs for strength
- Optimize wall thickness and part orientation
- Improve 3D nesting performance for high-volume builds
Key design factors affecting cost include part shape, complexity, feature resolution, and build volume efficiency. For large-scale manufacturing orders (100+ pieces), contact us for bulk pricing and tailored production contracts.
Surface Texturing
Add intricate surface textures such as leather grain, wood grain, organic lattices, logos, and more. Traditional manufacturing methods make these designs costly and difficult — but with 3D printing at APX Rapid, beautiful and functional.
