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.

Digital and Industry 4.0 technology are revamping manufacturing, a trend that will accelerate, the president of Siemens USA said today.

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.

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.

Terry Wohlers describes the outlook for additive manufacturing.

The macroeconomic outlook has also taken a toll on the additive manufacturing (AM) industry, with adoption not living up to expectations. This is reflected in the slumping stock prices of publicly traded 3D-printing companies.
