Additive manufacturing is a digital manufacturing process, but that does not mean the digital part file is enough of a starting point to begin. Nate Higgins and Chris Aiello, founders of FreeFORM Technologies, believe there ought to be much more: a detailed conversation around the aims for the part and the choices affecting it. That is, what are the important functions of the part, and can any features be adjusted for the sake of greater manufacturing speed or reduced cost? In this respect, they say, additive manufacturing is like manufacturing in general. See where Freeform's conversations (and nimble approach to manufacturing) are leading to success: https://lnkd.in/gb3bEsce In article: Tritone Technologies, Desktop Metal, Ryerson _____ #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #binderjetting #MIM #tritone

Concurring with Paul Gradl on a more-holistic approach akin to Design for Manufacturing (and Assembly) incorporating AM instead of just Designing for AM. This approach has been the backbone behind the most successful AM applications, adopters and even service bureaus. Quoted from the article: Paul Gradl underscored the necessity of a systems approach in AM, integrating all aspects of the additive lifecycle—from feedstock and design to post-processing. “We tend to focus a lot on just the build process,” he noted, advocating for closer collaboration between machine manufacturers and post-processing vendors. This holistic view, which includes powder removal, heat treatments, and machining, is essential for producing successful, high-quality parts. “Understanding the inputs, the process, and all the outputs of that process” is essential for advancing the technology, he emphasized. #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting https://lnkd.in/g3G8eGkQ

Additive manufacturing: is a bigger bed size always better? An emerging trend in the additive manufacturing (AM) sector is the release of machines with larger bed sizes. While necessary to produce large components, some manufacturers are using large systems for the volume production of small parts. However, smaller machines that are optimised for productivity may deliver better return on investment (ROI). #3DPrinting #ManufacturingTech #3DPrintingIndustry #3DPrintDesign Renishaw https://lnkd.in/e5Cndxg5

6moExcellent article, and it highlights a really critical aspect of how to be successful with AM; acknowledging that it's just another manufacturing process. Like all other processes, it has its strengths and weaknesses, design constraints and design flexibilities. For many years OEMs did a great disservice to the industry by touting AM as a magical tool that could instantly produce any geometry imaginable in any material you could dream of. Now as we take a more grounded approach to AM we have to take time with each customer to dispel this mythos; to convey where the limits of the technology are and how we can leverage its strengths. Customers invariably come in with parts designed with one particular manufacturing process in mind (CNC Machining, Casting, Forging, etc) with the hopes of just printing it as is. When customers are able to be flexible with the design itself, and allow for optimization for this new process, that is where we see the biggest wins in Additive.
