Want confirmation that additive manufacturing (AM) is fast evolving from an effective way of creating prototypes to a serious alternative for full-scale production? Essentium claims to have goods, touting the results of a recent independent study that shows use of large-scale AM more than doubling over the last year for 70 percent of participating companies. Highlights of the companies’ third annual study also found that the number of companies shifting to AM for full-scale production runs for hundreds, even thousands, of parts has doubled from 7% last year to 14% in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the rise in…

Despite the increased interest in metal additive manufacturing (AM), engineering organizations are struggling to find a definitive formula to make a business case for the technology as a viable method for production. There is no one calculation or cost-benefit analysis that justifies the economics—often, it will come down to a more nebulous equation based on “it depends.” Metal AM, though around for the last couple of decades, has garnered a lot of attention recently as new capabilities and materials innovations advance what the platforms are capable of producing while lower price points put the technology in reach of a wider…
