How Automation Can Unlock Mass Customization

The additive manufacturing industry has seen the beginnings of AM used to enable mass customization, and 3D-printing automation will make this a reality starting in 2023.

Design Keys: Parts, Not Prints

Traditional manufacturing principles stress designing for the process. For AM, however, design must encompass the entire process, starting with materials and printing but also consider thermal treatment, machining, chemical post-processing, volumetric and dimensional inspection, and mechanical testing.

How AM Can Help Mitigate Supply Chain Insecurities

The question is, how can manufacturers mitigate issues related to problems with carbon footprint, supply chains, and labor shortages? Additive manufacturing may be the answer; it has the potential to overcome many of these difficulties.

New Ways to Finish DMLS, MJF Parts

In the pursuit of enabling production-quantity 3D printing, the historical focus has been on improving printer throughput and material properties. Multi-jet fusion (MJF) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) printing technologies have achieved considerable success on this front.

The Future of AM

Terry Wohlers describes the outlook for additive manufacturing.
