Why you should buy a 3d printer for your cookie business!
If you're a baker, staying ahead of the curve and offering unique, high-quality products is essential. Trying to continuously create fun, eye catching and beautiful bakes can be difficult, so I’m here to share a little secret with you!
The best tool I have bought for my business that has upped my cookie game is a 3D printer. Here are my top 6 reasons why investing in a 3D printer could be a game-changer for your cookie business:
Customisation and creativity: With a 3D printer, the possibilities for customisation are virtually endless. You can create intricate cookie cutters in any shape imaginable, which allows you to offer personalised designs for special occasions like weddings, birthdays, and corporate events. This level of customisation can set your business apart and attract a wider range of customers seeking unique products.
Efficiency and Speed: Traditional methods of creating custom cookie cutters or moulds can be time-consuming and labour-intensive. A 3D printer streamlines this process, enabling you to produce designs quickly and efficiently. This means you can fulfill orders faster and increase your production capacity without sacrificing quality.
Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial investment in a 3D printer might seem significant, it can actually save you money in the long run. By creating your own tools, you reduce the need to purchase expensive, pre-made options. Plus, the ability to prototype and test designs in-house minimises trial-and-error costs and helps you perfect your products before they hit the market.
Sustainability: Many 3D printers use materials that are environmentally friendly, reducing waste compared to traditional manufacturing methods. By adopting this technology, your business can promote sustainability, which is increasingly important to consumers today.
Innovation and Branding: Using a 3D printer can enhance your brand's image as an innovative leader in the cookie industry. Customers appreciate businesses that embrace new technologies to improve their products and services. By showcasing your unique designs and production process, you can create a brand narrative that resonates with your audience and builds customer loyalty.
Educational Opportunities: A 3D printer opens the door to educational opportunities for you. Learning to design and print can help to create a culture of creativity and innovation within your business.
The ease of having your own printer at home, with the ability of ‘on demand’ prints, means you can easily purchase STL files from one of the many exceptional creators we have in our industry and have your very own printed cutters and stamps within an hour! 3D printers are more than just a piece of equipment; it's a tool that can transform your cookie business. By investing in this technology, you position your business to thrive in a competitive market and delight customers with innovative, delicious creations.
My personal pick for 3d printers, hands down without a doubt would be the Bambu Labs machines. They are so easy to use, with a great number of resources available online if you run into any type of trouble. I have a P1S with AMS (allowing you to print multicoloured prints) and a P1P. Both machines are equally as good as each other and I have managed to print hundreds of cookie cutters (and other useless fun objects) over the last 12 months.
Do yourself a favour - BUY THE PRINTER. You can thank me later.
