3D printing to create new collections

Technological innovation and creativity allow for the presentation of new sinks in unique shapes.

Curiosity is part of Bathco's nature, and thanks to it, the company specialized in the bathroom sector continues to discover new shapes, materials, and techniques. For this reason, it continues to invest in technological innovation that keeps alive the creativity that characterizes its team.

Their latest bet is to rely on 3D technology to bring their designs to life. This way, a team of professionals trained in this technology can create prototypes at their headquarters, which allows them to manufacture new products, research new concepts, innovate, and create original products.

At the moment, they are not considering mass production of ceramic parts with 3D printing, but they have long been aware that applying this technology to their prototypes would provide a competitive advantage. With this in mind, they have made an effort to invest in 3D printing and are already seeing benefits in their day-to-day operations.

RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION

Once they have defined the design of a new product, they send it directly to the 3D printer they have on-site. This way, they generate tangible objects in a very short period of time, allowing them to have a broader understanding of the design, its proportions, and its functionality before sending it to manufacturing. By reducing the prototyping process They also reduce the time from when new designs are created to when they reach the point of sale.

Thanks to 3D printing, they are noticing a considerable reduction in prototype production costs, transportation, and raw materials used. Time is money, and if production time is reduced, this will be reflected in the Cost of production And as a consequence, the final price of the product will be more competitive.

On the other hand, having a machine for prototype manufacturing on-site reduce transportation costs Gradually, you will appreciate the reduction in the environmental impact of transportation.

To make matters worse, the precision and accuracy of this new technology mean that only the necessary raw materials are used. no waste of any kind is generated because the material is reusable.

CREATIVE PROCESS

The Bathco team is very clear that with 3D printing, there are no limits beyond their own creativity. Its design team is constantly developing new ideas to innovate in the world of bathrooms and has found this new technology to be a way to create complex structures.

A button for the sample, Bathco will soon launch a new collection of sinks made of Solid Surface that are being tested thanks to 3D printing. These sinks will be presented as Sand Waves, a name that refers to the sinuous shapes so characteristic of this new line of Solid Surface sinks.
