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.

3 Trends Toward Mainstream Applications

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.

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.

Tool Tales

Mantle Inc. takes home the prize with its patented TrueShape process. If the company and its employees have anything to say about it, toolmaking will never be the same.

AM, Meet A.I.
