Design changes in 3D printing should be addressed properly both in terms of communication flow and management techniques. Start working with clients from the initial stages to discuss the timelines and thus avoid misunderstandings. Always choose software for tracking changes that will allow version control and replicate all modifications to work. It estimated that errors costs amount to 25-50% of time and expenses during developing process, suggest to provide digital mockups or preview to client before printing. Besides helping to manage the process of revisions these practices also develop trust and satisfaction improving the clients’ needs satisfying rate.

Iterative design is the msot powerful application of 3D printing. Rapid prototyping means customers can get a physical example of their product before deciding to explore final production options such as injection molding. Offer clients the option for physical prototypes whenever discussing design iterations, have a calculated prototype ready for customer meetings in case customers feel confident in a design iteration and would like a version printed. Sometimes it is unnecessary to print every modification to a design, but it can be an opportunity for a deeper understanding of goals with your client.
