Introduction
While 3D printing is currently only a small slice of the total volume of industrial production, it is growing strongly. This both in terms of sales and in the number of applications in the most diverse industrial sectors.
Story
Will the automotive industry fulfill the intended role in the implementation of 3D printing in industrial applications? More and more companies are ready to use AM in small series with scalable additive manufacturing concepts. There will be cost reductions in technology and materials through volume scaling so that additive manufacturing will conquer further shares of the manufacturing technology mix. However, we need AM-optimized industrial implementation of large assemblies like whole engines or car bodies.
Conclusion
Know your parts who are suitable for 3D printing – do partscreening – use the 3D Partfinder.
