Lighter parts, more durable parts, increased design freedom, on-demand part production … all are great, and all just scratch the surface of what additive manufacturing can do.
Now that 3-D printing is safely beyond the hype phase and has become an established part of many companies’ product development and manufacturing processes, there has been a greater understanding of the technology’s technical and business advantages. With that, more users are benefitting from lighter and more durable parts, increased design freedom and on-demand part production.
But that’s just scratching the surface of 3-D printing’s potential.
