What is the role of digital fabrication in reducing manufacturing costs?

Digital fabrication has a significant role in reducing manufacturing costs by enabling efficient and streamlined processes. It allows manufacturers to create products with greater precision and accuracy, eliminating the need for costly manual labor. Digital fabrication also reduces the time it takes to produce a product by automating many manufacturing processes. This reduces lead times and ultimately helps to reduce costs. Additionally, digital fabrication can result in less waste and scrap because manufacturers can refine the design and adjust the fabrication process to maximize material usage. The cost savings achieved through digital fabrication can be passed on to the customer, making products more affordable and accessible.
