Whatever your overarching goal - performance or efficiency - we can modify the design of your part to achieve it. ### We Develop the Design With You Our on-site value engineers will analyse the application of your part and find design solutions that meet your needs. By being on-site, we’re able to work alongside your team throughout the development phase, meaning faster design turnaround and greater solution confidence. ### Optimization for 3D Printing Using our topology optimisation software, we can reduce the raw material needed for the part, while maximising the mechanical strength. The result is a design that’s lighter, cheaper to produce and better performing compared to the original part. Even if your part has been previously optimised, we’re confident we can find improvements that bring more value. ### We’ll Validate Your New Design Before going to print, we can also run numerical simulations to demonstrate the improved performance of your new design. This gives you peace of mind to move to the [manufacturing phase](https://www.thesteelprinters.com/services/3d-printing?hsLang=en). 01 [![](https://www.thesteelprinters.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/TheSteelPrinters/images/module-icons/case-study-placeholder.jpg)](https://www.thesteelprinters.com/services/part-identification?hsLang=en) ### [3D Part Identification](https://www.thesteelprinters.com/services/part-identification?hsLang=en) [Leveraging digital tools and our in-depth industry knowledge, we identify parts ideal for 3D printing.
