While searching for a realistic use case for additive manufacturing, the Siemens Industry team came across the steering knuckle in its eRods, which are essentially electric dune buggies. The original steering knuckles were designed for another vehicle, and were therefore ideal for optimization. Photos provided by Siemens Digital Industries.

In a world where new technology keeps popping up out of nowhere, it's easy to think that this new tech can solve any and all your manufacturing challenges. This is a dangerous assumption because thoughtless reliance on technology can become a liability. Yes, tech does makes work easier and faster, but we've learned in recent decades that projects can still fail if the new technology being used doesn't bring manufacturing, business, and go-to-market strategies together.
