Several research studies and experts have rated 3D or additive manufacturing as one of the economically disruptive technologies. Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) has seen a steady rise in adoption across various domains and industry verticals during the last decade. Initially regarded as a pure prototyping tool, AM technology has evolved considerably and is now being used for series production. To reduce time-to-market, improve product performance and reduce product lifecycle cost, more and more companies are relying on AM as a strategy.
