FOC Producer

All FOC products and projects are produced by various 3D printing technologies and FOC already produces several tons annually. 3D printing has the image of being an expensive technology, but as with any new technology, things always tend to be more expensive than with their predecessors, until the market becomes transparant.

FOC producer will be started 1 November, 2009 and will share our production service and logistics with everybody. We will simply combine the capacity and pricing models from the biggest 3D printing companies in Europe and launch that into a combined online portal.

Since at the moment most available machine capacity in the world is not used, clever sourcing of production can achieve great cost-savings for everybody. By comparing different manufacturers online, you are guaranteed the best producer and price for each part. Since all our parts are build together with several clients at the same time, we can further diminish the costs for everybody. By allowing just a couple of days longer lead times, our pricing can be as much as 10 times cheaper than what you normally would pay for similar parts.

Details

Below are a few examples, which dictate the pricing. All companies calculate their pricing differently and this can make it complicated and not transparant.

The empty capacity is expensive and you will also pay for it.

This is how we organize our co-production together with several clients at the same time and cut pricing for everybody.

Below you can see how we cut the costs for everybody by combining 3D printing platforms with all our clients together.
