Metal 3D printing is disrupting traditional methods of metal fabrication. As technology becomes more and more prevalent on manufacturing floors, businesses need to gain application-centric intuition about the process. Just as machinists understand which components are best made on a waterjet vs. a 3-axis mill, it is essential to know which parts are a good fit for additive manufacturing and 3D printing application.
The advancement in 3D printing technology has enabled clinicians and engineers to push boundaries and change the face of medical industries to provide cutting edge devices. Additive manufacturing also helps develop durable, high-functioning prosthetics more affordably, allowing more people from resource-starved areas access to greater mobility.
