How additive manufacturing works
Additive manufacturing creates a part from three-dimensional data through a series of discrete layers. Depending on the process and classification, it is also called rapid prototyping, rapid manufacturing or 3D printing.
Why manufacturers use it
Unlike many conventional processes, additive manufacturing may not require dedicated tooling or fixtures. One machine can produce complex shapes quickly and accurately, potentially reducing process steps and lead time. This flexibility can be especially useful for complex designs. Actual results depend on material, process, machine and design.
