AM was first developed as a rapid-prototyping technology for making one-of-a-kind physical mockups. Augmented with machine learning and generative design software, AM now enters a new phase, as a means to churn out large volumes of end-use parts.

For those who want to scale up their AM processes, what are the growing pains? In this episode of DE Roundtable, the experts discuss:

  • how to ensure output consistency with AM for mass production;
  • how AM and traditional manufacturing complement each other;
  • how to design for AM to ensure project success.
