This blog post will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of DIY 3D printing and outsourcing 3D printing projects so the most suitable option can be chosen for highest ROI. ## **DIY 3D printing** ### Advantages Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of DIY 3D printing is vital to make better decisions and get the best value for money invested. Below are the advantages: - **Highly customisable and quick turnaround time** Since there is a wide range of 3D designs and patterns available online, DIY 3D printing is fast and easy if you have a 3D printer in place. These designs can be customised to certain specific requirement and then be 3D Printed in a very short lead time. - **Greater control on the development process** The [development process](http://www.preservearticles.com/2012051932632/what-is-the-importance-of-control-in-management.html) is highly controlled and potential issues on the project can be addressed promptly in-house. Moreover, the quality of the product, time of production and material cost are all closely monitored and well managed under one roof. ### Disadvantages Like any other ways to produce prototypes, DIY 3D printing has also its drawbacks: - **Lack of in-house experience** Producing prototypes by yourself can be frustrating especially when there is no proper training or knowledge of 3D printing and materials. Unexpected problems and damages may occur which can  result in additional expenses. If in-house staff's skills and experience are not sufficient, the prototypes may not be created successfully, which can generate even higher cost. - **Requires more time and effort** DIY 3D printing project requires extra time and effort when setting up the machine and finding suitable quality materials. Also, the planning stage may take time and effort particularly if the equipment used in DIY 3D printing is [made from scratch](https://medium.com/3dprinterchat/diy-3d-printer-from-scratch-bowden-vs-direct-drive-e277f8d2b479). ## **Outsource 3D printing to a 3rd Party Company** 3D Printing [Outsourcing](http://www.chrisducker.com/how-outsourcing-works/) refers to the process of hiring a company or an individual to handle business activities such as 3D printing services, mechanical design, etc. It is a common practice for some companies to outsource 3D printing services since it can offer a number of advantages. Below are some them: ### Advantages - **Cost-effective** Outsourcing eludes the need to hire individuals and buy equipment in-house. Thus, labour costs, material costs and overhead costs can be minimised. - **Access to skilled professionals** When in-house resources are insufficient, outsourcing can be a great solution. Service providers have access to specific equipment and technical expertise which can complete task faster and produce better outputs than DIY 3D printing. - **Technical advancement** Companies that provide outsourcing 3d printing services use advanced machines and equipment for producing prototypes. There are also various techniques and a wide range of materials that 3D printing services provider utilises, which helps your company complete complex prototype projects to the accuracy you require. Keep in mind, sometimes conventional machining e.g. tapping of holes is required to be done to 3D printed models. ### Disadvantages Before making any decision, it is also crucial to understand the disadvantages when it comes to outsourcing certain business. When planning to look for some 3D printing service, the disadvantages could be like below: - **Losing visibility and management control** [Management control and visibility](https://intetics.com/blog/outsourcing-risk-management-loss-of-visibility-and-control) of the project are crucial because it reduces the risk of non-conformity of the actual performance of the company. Losing visibility and control can also result in quality issues of the product. - **Lack of communication** One of the major concerns with outsourcing 3d printing is lack of good communication. If you choose to outsource to overseas, there are factors that make both parties to communicate inefficiently. These factors include language or dialect barrier, cultural nuances, communication technology, and time zone differences. But if you outsource to a local service provider, communication efficiency such as response time, feedback time etc. are not as good as in-house team. Unless the outsourcing company commits to offer 24/7 communication service, there will be a lot of waiting time for the responses because the service companies also need to look after other clients. ## **Things to consider when outsourcing** Outsourcing services is one of the effective strategies to improve profitability. But before deciding which service company to partner up with, [take these aspects](https://blog.flatworldsolutions.com/7-key-factors-consider-choosing-outsourcing-company/) below into consideration first. - **Pricing** Most of the time, pricing is one of the main reasons for outsourcing 3D printing services. In line with this, it is necessary to look for a company that offers the best price possible for their outsourcing services. If you supply a #D model drawing accurate and reasonable pricing is more likely. - **Reliability & Quality** Before engaging with an [3D design and printing services provider](https://www.cmac.com.au/3d-design-printing/3d-design-printing-summary-cmac), do some research on the company. Look for a service provider that has a proven track record and reliable enough to carry out the project and finish it on time with quality ensured. - **Communication** The 3d printing service company must have outstanding communication skills. Moreover, they should have enough capacity to manage calls, transmit information and maintain constant communication. Therefore, you won't waste your precious time as every business is always time poor. ## **Conclusion** Choosing between [DIY and outsourcing](https://qarea.com/blog/it-outsourcing-vs-in-house-what-is-the-best-for-your-business) 3D printing services should depend on your specific project goals. These goals include materials that are needed, allotted budget for the project and function of the prototype, whether it is for visual display, functional prototyping or casting into end products. Regardless whether [3D printing is done in-house](https://www.cmac.com.au/3d-design-printing/3d-printing-sydney) or outsourced, it remains an important part of design validation, functional testing and rapid prototyping. Nevertheless, there can be many benefits such as cost savings and success rate improvement, accessing skilled experts in 3D Printing and technological advancement as well as reducing turnaround time if you choose the right service supplier. Leaving it to the professionals may-be the best choice when it comes to 3D printing if you want better results. Here is an local company in Sydney Australia provides [3D printing service](https://www.cmac.com.au/3d-design-printing/3d-printing-services-sydney), [mechanical drafting and designs](https://www.cmac.com.au/mechanical-design/mechanical-design-and-drafting) and much more that could help.

C-Mac made changes to the tooling to make access and ease of use to decrease service down times. \*\[Service Manager\]\* An industrial fan service company had a failure of a major shopping centre air conditioning fan/ blower. C-Mac repaired the unit within a 24hr turn around for minimum downtime. \*\[Owner/Manager\]\* A major food manufacturer specializing in tomato sauce had a filling machine breakdown. The machine was brought to C-Mac and repaired in 24hrs for minimum downtime of the production line costing $5,000 per hour. \*\[RAAF - Warrant Officer\]\* Airfield support staff required a portable sandbagging frame and requested a design, prototype and trials at no cost. There was nothing suitable on the market i.e. made in Australia. "Sandbagging Frames":materials-handling/1-bagging-equipment#silt-bagging-frame are now on the national procurement data base and some probably overseas at different war zones. \*\[Mechanical Design Engineer\]\* An automotive transmission design customer needed help with designing an automatic transmission gear prototype. We suggested and engineered a more cost effective and practical way for the mass production stage. \*\[Nursery Manager\]\* At an exhibition saw our self tracking nursery trailers and indicated he had a costly issue transporting large (heavy) pots containing advanced trees. Existing method was a bobcat. C-Mac designed and quoted for the manufacture of a Self Tracking “Low Loader”. His comment on the first day of using "Low Loader trailer":nursery-equipment/7-trailers/#low-loader-self-tracking-trailer “Can now move 100 litre pots with trees, 150 metres in 1 hr and not get a sore back”. \*\[Purchasing Officer\]\* A mining design and machining company needed help with machining components urgently as they were too busy to keep up with the demand. C-Mac machined the components so the deadline could be met. \*\[General Manager\]\* Customer had to submit a proposal and compete against other countries for the manufacturing facility. C-Mac submitted drawings to show there was space in existing plant to install the new process and to comply with all Australian OH&S Standards. Working together with customer to submit proposal to the Head Office overseas WON the contract. Project was a success meeting 6month lead time and budget. \*\[Nursery Owner\]\* Needed a specific Potting & Mixing machine. for his yuccas nursery, but the problem was it was no longer manufactured. From his description and specifications our engineers designed and modelled in 3D software his requirements. "Potting Machine":nursery-equipment/3-potting-machines/ was manufactured and fully tested with potting media in our workshop, video was then sent to customer who was very pleased with the results. Machine disassembled and freighted interstate and installed. \*\[Maintenance Engineer\]\* An industrial hydraulic fitting manufacturer had problems with gear and shaft breakages with their machinery. They also had problems repairing and maintaining. C-Mac offered to repair and maintain their machinery on-site instead of having to permanently employ fitters. ## Information - [About](https://www.cmac.com.au/about-us/our-history) - [Careers](https://www.cmac.com.au/employment) - [Blog](https://www.cmac.com.au/blog) - [Contact Us](https://www.cmac.com.au/contact) ## [Locate Us](https://www.cmac.com.au/contact) 21/64 Drummond St South Windsor NSW 2756 Phone: (02) 9631 6000 ![](https://www.cmac.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/images/infocmac.com.au.jpg?width=170&name=infocmac.com.au.jpg) Copyright 1966-2022 @ C-Mac Industries Pty Ltd [![Connect with us on LinkedIn](https://www.cmac.com.au/hs-fs/file-357023590-png/images/linkedin.png "Connect with us on LinkedIn")](https://www.linkedin.com/company/c-mac-industries-aust-pty-ltd) [![twitter_icon](https://www.cmac.com.au/hs-fs/hub/320163/file-2404272988-png/images/twitter_icon.png?width=28&height=28&name=twitter_icon.png)](https://twitter.com/CM_NurseryEquip) [![Google_plus_icon](https://www.cmac.com.au/hs-fs/hub/320163/file-2406624891-png/images/Google_plus_icon.png?width=28&height=28&name=Google_plus_icon.png)](https://plus.google.com/112714079408736501768) [![Youtube_icon](https://www.cmac.com.au/hs-fs/hub/320163/file-2410967582-png/images/Youtube_icon.png?width=28&height=28&name=Youtube_icon.png)](https://www.youtube.com/user/CMacIndustries/videos) [![Follow us on Facebook](https://www.cmac.com.au/hs-fs/file-355333581-png/images/facebook.png?width=28&height=28&name=facebook.png "Follow us on Facebook")](http://www.facebook.com/pages/C-Mac-Industries/229124343802420)
