1 Find Your Niche

To carve out your niche in 3D printing, consider the unique intersections of your interests, skills, and the market demand. Look for areas that are underserved or where you can offer something not widely available. This could be anything from medical prosthetics, architectural models, custom cosplay items, to aerospace components. The key is to identify a segment where your passion and proficiency meet a real need, allowing you to create value that sets you apart.

Il existe plusieurs pistes a explorer en matière d'impression 3D, mais ce qui apporte une plus value s'est d'être positionné là où il n'existe plus rien. C'est à dire là où il a un manque pas de la place mais un manque car il y a un besoin exprimé. L'exemple qui me vient en tête est celui des pièces de SAV. Si une marque (surtout dans le secteur industriel) cesse de produire des pièces pour un outil grandement utilisé sur le secteur il peut être intéressant de démarcher le secteur en proposant les pièces sur mesure.

Building a portfolio is a process that requires some level of patience. At the initial stage profit making should not be the top priority but rather problem solving should be the driving force. This can be achieved initially by identifying a problem/need in your vicinity and designing a 3d model to solve the problem. The application of the prototype can then be demonstrated to solve real like challenges, with the procedures of testing and the results well documented. These well documented procedures and results can be used as a portfolio to demonstrate the problem solving ability of your prototype, thus showing your technical prowess as the designer of that prototype

RESTEZ ADAPTABLE, C'est la raison d'être de l'impression 3D, après la création, c'est ce qui fera que vous multiplierez les clients en s'adaptant aux différents manques. Là où personne d'autre ne se trouve vous pourrez ainsi fournir un service unique. Cela demande une équipe dédiée à l'adaptation ou prospection, l'appellation importe peu ce qui compte c'est d'être à l'aff?t.

Se mantenha em constante aprendizado, nunca achei que sabe de tudo e n?o precisa ouvir dicas ou ensinamentos de ninguém; se manter de mente aberta e ter consciência de que há muito o que aprender com diversas pessoas será sua bússola.
