As can be seen, among all steels used for additive manufacturing, our novel steel exhibits high strength and good cost benefit. As compared to L-PBF typical maraging steel 18Ni300, the novel L-PBF steel not only maintains the same strength level, but also lowering the raw material cost by nearly half.
Additive manufacturing technology opens up new opportunities for the economy and society. It can facilitate the customized production of strong light-weight products and it allows designs that were not possible with previous manufacturing techniques.

Metal 3D printing is no longer a novel technology, yet how it compares to traditional manufacturing processes—especially on cost—can still be an ambiguous equation. BMW Expands Use of Additive Manufacturing to
In particular, three different manufacturing environments are selected for the cost comparison: (1) traditional manufacturing, (2) additive manufacturing, and (3)
Additive manufacturing (AM) and CNC machining fulfill different needs in the manufacturing industry. The fundamental difference between AM and CNC machining lies in their approach: AM adds material to create an object, while CNC machining uses rotating tools to remove layers from blocks of material to shape the final piece.
Additive manufacturing is the process of creating an object by building it one layer at a time. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing, in which an object is created by cutting away at a solid block of material until the final product is complete. Technically, additive manufacturing can refer to any process where a product is created
The cost drivers associated with additive manufacturing fall into four key areas: machine and tooling costs, labor, materials, and post-processing. Compared to
Build rates are provided directly as the volumetric rate specified by the manufacturer (e.g., in units of cm3/hr), or converted from a linear vertical build rate (e.g., in cm/hr). In the latter case, the volumetric build rate is approximated from the build area ( A build ) and the vertical build rate ( R vertical ) using the equation R vol =0.25 x A build x R vertical .

The manufacturing sector accounts for a large percentage of global energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, and there is growing interest in the potential of additive manufacturing (AM) to reduce the sector''s environmental impacts. Across multiple industries, AM has been used to reduce material use in final parts by 35–80%, and
In line with other studies comparing total costs in traditional and additive manufacturing environments (e.g., [5]- [7]), in this study a task-based approach using a process-oriented cost model
This holds also for Additive Manufacturing, a technology with unmatched potential compared to traditional manufacturing. However, AM has to compete with conventional technologies. Only if the added value of the AM product or service outweighs the potential cost difference, it can become a successful business case.
Ruffo, M., Hague, R.J.M.: Cost estimation for rapid manufacturing—simultaneous production of mixed components using laser sintering (2007) Google Scholar Allen, J.: An investigation into the comparative costs of additive manufacture vs. machine
Currently, with the growth of several technologies in the manufacturing processes (e.g. sintering, hybrid milling), some discussions in the construction of spare-parts have increased, such as manufacturing time, costs and initial investment for the implementation of the system. Taking into account the complexity and diversity of car
For each product, they could thus compare the total costs of adopting additive manufacturing (with and without geometry optimization) with the total costs of relying on traditional manufacturing. They also considered different batch volumes for the automotive gear and the bottle blowing mould, estimating the unit cost of a single batch as well as
This blog post has provided a comprehensive comparison of metal additive manufacturing, casting, and forging, each with its unique set of advantages and disadvantages. Metal AM offers unparalleled design freedom and reduced waste, while casting provides a cost-effective solution for large quantities and a wide range of materials.
Cost models to assess and compare the level of expenditure incurred when manufacturing a part by applying different production technologies are of big importance for industrial companies. Hällgrena, S.; Pejrydb, L.; Ekengrenb, J.

The study proved that the investment cost in a laser additive manufacturing (LAM) machine contributes to the main expense of product cost compared to the energy and material costs. The energy consumption allocated under machine cost was obtained from Baumers et al.''s model [ 44 ] that mapped the source of electricity

Comparing Additive Manufacturing vs. Subtractive Manufacturing. Additive manufacturing refers to one or more 3D printing processes to fabricate a finished product. For subtractive manufacturing, products are produced by removing material from a workpiece. The exact production method will impact the supporting materials, cost, and
Additive manufacturing has a cheaper and more consistent process price. As an illustration, additive manufacturing can make parts cheaper than injection molding processes in the range of 4000 to
If we then add material and machine cost, we get the cost to print the part, which we then divide by 0.60 (or simply multiply by 2 if we think pre-/post-processing is 50% of the total cost) to get the total cost. An example along with the equation can be found in the accompanying figure below. Figure: cost model equation for metal powder bed
