Significant contributions have been made in recent years to the development of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology. Improvements in laser and electron beam-based AM equipment using powder injection, powder bed or wire feed systems have benefited from advances in software programs to convert complex CAD models into Digitally Manufactured parts. Wider acceptance of AM technology in, for example the aerospace industry, is driven by meeting stringent quality, schedule and cost requirements. These factors, in addition to the specific property requirements and level of part-family complexity, strongly influence the selection of the appropriate Additive Manufacturing process. This presentation will briefly review some of the factors and criteria that must be addressed to transition an "AM opportunity" into a viable business case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
