Is Direct-Digital Manufacturing Right For You?
Additive fabrication technology has moved beyond prototyping. These four indicators can help manufacturers decide whether to consider direct-digital manufacturing (DDM) for their operations.

Taking Rapid Prototyping To The Next Level
The rapid prototyping industry has been around a couple of decades. Historically applied for one-offs, it is seeing increased use as a method of direct digital manufacturing (DDM).

Rapid tooling is a good fit for a many prototype tools and a growing number of production tools.
Read MoreDirect Metal Technologies Tackle the Impossible
Rapid prototyping, rapid tooling and rapid manufacturing are not the phrases used in discussions of direct metal systems. While speed (rapid) is inherent in the process and critical for success, there is much more to the technologies that produce metal parts and tools through direct, additive processes.
