Credico USA's Chairman Antoine Nohra Believes That the 3D Printer is Good for American Manufacturers But Not for Chinese Manufacturers

    MONTREAL, QC, July 25, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "It is possible to buy a 3D printer for less than a $1000," says Antoine Nohra, chairman of Credico USA one of America's fastest growing companies. "Just think of the potential for American manufacturers as this process becomes more cost effective," he went on to say.

The revolutionary 3D printer is a machine that can laser up layers of liquid or granular resin and even cell tissue into a finished fully functioning product.

To date they have been huge devices that have been making complete components such as aircraft parts. "We at Credico see the exciting potential for these devices for bespoke manufacturing," said the Credico chairman. "It ticks all the boxes there is even no waste and to customize the product we simply change the software."

As Peter Nartus, export manager at Velleman remarked: "The only restriction is your imagination, you can make whatever you want." It has been reported that China is looking to move to using giant 3D printers for some of their manufacturing as the process looks to disrupt conventional manufacturing and supply chains.

Credico USA is one of North America's fastest growing companies who specialize in outsource sales and marketing. As Antoine Nohra, Credico's chairman said, "We are successful at assisting brands and manufacturers to get their products directly into the hands of more customers. So we are well placed to see the potential of 3D printing in customizing their supply chain to suit customer demand."

Economists are saying the implications are limitless. They envisage no huge factories. No fleets of trucks, less ships with an even shorter supply chain and the eradication of tariffs. The need for middle-men will diminish or even disappear.

So products become more competitively priced. There will be no need for stock and warehouses, as everything will be manufactured on demand. "When you look at the manufacturing boom in North America in the early 1900's," said Antoine. "You can see the parallels, local supply for a local market with smaller manufacturing units producing tailored products to satisfy its customers."

That is where Antoine Nohra sees the threat for China and its traditional macro-scale manufacturing industry. China has as yet not mastered the complex chemistry of 3D inks and resins and is dependent on importing not only the raw material but also the machines, which for their needs are about $1.1m. With the West embracing the new technology and seeing the flexible benefits to our economy it is highly likely that China will lose market share in some sectors.

One very important person President Barack Obama declared that 3D technology could "guarantee that the next revolution in manufacturing is made in America."
