In the current market, it’s a challenge to get parts in time and with a reasonable lead time.
In this talk , we will explain where Additive manufacturing ( AM) has an advantage over conventional manufacturing technics. For what parts and applications is AM beneficial to reduce the manufacturing process steps and thereby reducing the supply chain, lead time and cost.
This will explained by a comparison of the AM and conventional machining cost models for metals and by typical applications.
