The consulting company 3D Industrie GmbH, which specializes in supporting 3D printing service providers and users of additive manufacturing in German SMEs, is now offering the K3A method for identifying 3D printing applications.
Countless 3D printing potential analyses and company tours have resulted in a pattern for finding and identifying 3D printing applications in companies that can be directly transferred to many industries. This pattern has resulted in the 8-step K3A method (communicative 3D printing application identification), which actively influences the potential use of 3D printing in your own company and also increases and consolidates acceptance of the new technology.
A lack of possible applications is too often the reason why additive manufacturing is not consolidated in the company and the 3D printer stands still. The copying of use cases from magazines, webinars and white papers also leads to confusion and a lack of clarity as to which 3D printing applications really lie dormant in your own company.
As there was no promising approach for application identification and users and 3D printing service providers were always worried about not finding any possible applications, the K3A method is now an integral part of daily consultations at 3D Industrie GmbH.
“3D printing is often only about technical features, materials and processes or can be derived from them. The identification of a company’s own existing 3D printing applications does not exist as a feature in the 3D printer. This is a skill that really leads to finding the “money-making applications” and implementing the technology successfully. The targeted approach with a systematized and now extensively tested method creates a cross-departmental pull for 3D printing applications that are still hidden.” Johannes Lutz, owner of 3D Industrie GmbH
