Summary
TOMORROW’S MANUFACTURING TODAY
https://am-power.de/en/insights/ https://www.digitalalloys.com/blog/
- MIM-Similar (Sintering): Powder base will offer high production
rates and good detail. Extrusion will be niche or lower volume
- Powder Bed Fusion: Will become more efficient but still highly
expensive per part. Very good detail, material availability and mature process control. Industry of ancillaries advancing quickly
- Directed Energy Deposition. Coarse deposition but great
material control and low cost per part. Large to very large parts but limited production volume
- Other. New technologies will
