Additive manufacturing for production employs the use of 3D printing to make end-use functional components at production repeatability and scale. "3D printing" describes an entire group of part making processes that generally build components layer by layer using an ever-growing variety of materials. Additive manufacturing is often
Commenting at the time of the partnership announcement, Stephen Nigro, President of Additive Manufacturing at HP Inc, stated, "HP is proud to partner with GKN Powder Metallurgy to bring the power of 3D mass production to the largest industries on earth, such as the auto and industrial sectors. The combination of HP''s breakthrough
This also reduces additional setup and costs, streamlining the process further—even for massive production jobs. In other cases, faster, more affordable tooling may also be created for traditional manufacturing, like creating economical, customized 3D printed molds. Cable organizer by Voytek Medical, 3D printed by Shapeways.
Additive manufacturing is a recent trend in production processes owing to its many benefits. It can be defined as the process of producing parts through the deposition of material in a layer-by-layer
Harness the power of 3D printing. Additive manufacturing (AM), broadly known as 3D printing, is transforming how products are designed, produced, and serviced. AM enables on-demand production without dedicated equipment or tooling, unlocks digital design tools, and offers breakthrough performance and unparalleled flexibility across industries.
Since its invention over three decades ago, additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) progressed from single-part rapid prototyping to a viable production method, thanks to advanced technologies and new materials. With its unique ability to create light parts at lower costs, metal AM is especially crucial in large manufacturing processes.
In today''s era, additive manufacturing (AM) is attracting unparalleled attention across the globe. From initial obscurity, today there is practically no sphere of life untouched by this technology. The quantum of research in this field has witnessed overwhelming growth which in turn leads to impressive newer developments at almost
In partnership with Safran Aircraft Engines, GE Additive used additive manufacturing to produce over 30,000 fuel nozzles for commercial aircraft. The total weight of the nozzles was reduced by 25%, and they were able to consolidate the number of nozzle parts (around 20) into one part. Today, GE''s Aviation plant has over 40 3D printers.
Additive manufacturing (AM) —the process of making a product layer by layer instead of using traditional molding or subtractive methods—has become one of the most revolutionary technology applications in manufacturing. Often referred to as 3-D printing, the best-known forms of AM today depend on the material: SLS (selective laser
The opportunities presented by Additive Manufacturing (AM) now go far beyond just model making or prototype construction. Many automotive companies are already producing personalized components and spare parts with 3-D printers. But the biggest challenge facing the technology is making the breakthrough into vehicle mass

It''s only because 3D printing remains a niche means of production that the cost of materials is so high. The same materials cost much less when slated for injection molding, but only because of the size of the market. As 3D technology speeds up and spreads out, materials companies are likely to drop the costs as they rise to meet the
Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing has long been a promising trend due to the viability of low-volume production, material usage efficiency and design flexibility. However, it has now crossed the point of no return — from low-volume prototyping method for pet projects of enthusiasts it becomes a feasible approach to mass production.
