Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing

Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing are not new, but the technology is growing so rapidly that many aren’t familiar with the difference between the two. 3D printing is more specific to prototyping and small quantities, while Additive Manufacturing takes it to a much larger scale in full production and assembly.

Features

  • 3D printing is often used to describe non-industrial projects like printing small medical implants or producing small plastic keepsakes. Both can be seen as more of a desktop use rather than in full assembly line production which would be called AM or Additive Manufacturing. 3D printing unlocks complex design possibilities otherwise unavailable by traditional manufacturing processes.

  • DESIGN APPLICATIONS FOR 3D PRINTING INCLUDING:

    • Metal casting patterns
    • Tooling, Fixtures, and Jigs
    • Custom Medical Implants
    • Prototyping

  • 3D printing is not exclusive to any one industry. It spans several industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, and medical. 3D applications have diversified because of the potential for new printing materials. Engineers can print with plastic, concrete, graphite, carbon fiber, steel, titanium, and other exotic materials and more.
