This episode of The Engineering Roundtable is brought to you by Evolve Additive Solutions.
Additive manufacturing, sometimes called 3D printing, isn’t what you think it is. For part making with extreme complexity and impossible to fabricate features like enclosed volumes, it’s unequaled, and surprisingly to many, it’s been around for decades. Why does it feel so new? Mainly because the technology of additive is still evolving, with multiple, radically different operating principles, each with advantages and disadvantages. Whatever the technology, additive is now legitimate mass production tool, and aligning machine capability, heart costing and return on investment is critical.
Joining engineering.com on this episode of The Engineering Roundtable are four experts to discuss advanced additive as a production tool as well as the financial considerations when adopting additive for volume production:
