The additive manufacturing industry has faced a number of challenges the past few years. Several major companies in the space have seen sales decline and gone through dramatic restructuring, while others have merged or been acquired.
When we traveled to the Additive Manufacturing Strategies conference in New York in February, we got the sense that AM companies were refocusing on core competencies and proven applications.
In this Special Focus Issue, we take a look at some of those more successful strategies and applications, including hybrid manufacturing, AM parts certification, the use of AI to improve quality, and winning approaches to design for additive manufacturing (DfAM).
Inside This Issue:
- Clicking Parts Certification into the AM Puzzle
- Securing Design IP in Distributed Manufacturing
- Power of Good Design
- DfAM: Nine Best Practices
- Ask Your AI: Doomed to Fail or Designed to Print?
- Prescribing a Healthy Dose of DfAM
- Sintavia Extends Vertical Integration Strategy to Software
