What’s the right model for bringing additive manufacturing into production? Is it better to diversify into AM production from conventional manufacturing, or to start with a blank slate?
The August issue of Additive Manufacturing magazine considers these questions, featuring companies that are taking various approaches:
- Tangible Solutions, a medical implant contractor, shares the challenges of building an additive manufacturing business from the ground up.
- Germany-based FIT AG describes a global, scalable production concept for its AM factory template.
- DustRam, the developer of an accessory for dust-free flooring demolition, became a manufacturer through a combination of outsourced conventional manufacturing and in-house 3D printing.
Also in this issue, find a guide to the Additive Manufacturing Conference, coming to Knoxville, Tennessee, October 10-12, 2017.
