Provision of a long leadtime allows us to balance the builds better in the printers. Our aim is to fill the printers for every build to a certain nesting density. Having a catalogue of parts available to us to print helps with this. For example if we are printing a batch of drone parts which by their nature are all light we can add "weight" to the build if we have some denser parts waiting to print.

This gives us more efficiency which we pass on to you as lower costs.
