Two years ago, Allied Glass was the first glass container manufacturer in the UK to invest in 3D print technology, this was in order to help provide customers with the opportunity to create a physical bottle design in just a few hours. To build on this commitment to innovation, Allied Glass has expanded its 3D Print offering through the purchase of a desktop 3D printer. This provides Allied’s Design department with an additional resource to help meet customer’s requirements even quicker. The new printer is highly accurate and produces a 1:1 smooth powderless finish. Allied's new 3D printer allows full control over the printing process allowing each print to be tailored to the customers' requirements. Unlike Allied's larger printer each product is printed one at a time, therefore, its ideal use scenario is when a design has been agreed upon after having produced numerous concepts through the original 3D print machine. 3D print technology has also proven to inspire the entire company with numerous departments continually having new ideas of how they can make use of the new opportunities provided for them.
