The Cost of 3D Printing

There are of course obstacles. It’s a relatively new concept so people take time getting used to it; they need to be convinced that it’s reliable. Most of all there’s the cost. As the technology advances it is becoming more accessible and affordable; even so, the price is still a major obstacle to many businesses.

3D printing is proving its value, but the big problem is finding the money for the initial upfront investment. As with any new technology, you need to buy the right equipment and put it to use in the right way. Get in touch with our team; we’ll look into your business and develop a flexible short term finance or leasing solution which enables you to spread the costs in a way which minimises the burden to your business and still lets you see a positive return on investment.
