Additive manufacturing has removed design barriers to enable the creation of geometries that were previously not possible and/or affordable through traditional manufacturing. This has unlocked the door to faster innovation and exploration of improved designs while still offering the same quality through high-performance materials.
The benefits of integrating additive manufacturing into conventional manufacturing are clear. Still, to realize its full potential, OEM and Tier 1 manufacturers seek the consult of experts to guide them on their journey of uncovering the right applications, materials, and processes.
