Additive Manufacturing

NOVEMBER 10, 2022

In recent years additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and materials have evolved into being able to achieve industrial-grade parts production, which means AM parts are now entering the supply chain. The implementation of digital inventories and AM-focused suppliers is key to the new approach.

Luckily, metal additive manufacturing (AM) — which was initially used to produce prototype and low-volume metal parts — is starting to gain converts as a method to fabricate tooling components and entire molds. Proponents of the technology like to say that “ complexity is essentially free in AM.” Fraser, Mich.,
