3D printing in Product Design
Design. Refine. Repeat.
All without extra expense
By 3D printing functional prototypes, product designers can get feedback in the early design stages. This makes product development far more efficient. And designers have more time to do what they love – design.
- Concept models
- Functional testing
- Custom parts
- Limited production runs

The prototyping for the renowned Mojito Shoe by Julian Hakes took place on Ultimaker 3D printers across the world.
Reimagine product design
with 3D printing
Streamlined product design
Thanks to 3D printing, manufacturing timelines are shrinking. Design to product timings are shorter, allowing for faster more refined innovations.
Real models, really fast
With 3D printing it’s possible to get a real-life model in a few hours instead of weeks. So you can do a fit test and get direct feedback from customers.
Proof before production
Now you can check the form, function and manufacturing viability early in the process. Saving you costly mistakes down the line.
Fresh business models
As 3D printing grows it becomes more and more accessible. Once everyone’s using it, the need for quality models will greatly increase.
