Using Additive Manufacturing to Add Value to Products Produced with Conventional Manufacturing Methods - (PPT)

摘要

Includes adding material/functionality/value to existing Component: Not just building constituent parts from scratch, Requires ability to print freely in 3D space. Must be applicable across the entire product lifecycle: Needs to be cost effective for full production, including high volume, Not only prototyping and Low Volume applications. Open Architecture approach is critical for adoption in production: Must be viable as a point solution, Must readily integrate with existing processes and machines, Must work with low-cost materials available from multiple sources.
