Future is Sky High for AM in Aerospace
by Louis A. KrenThat's the message 3D Metal Printing heard at the 3rd Additive/Aerospace Summit. Institutional and commercial buy-in has propelled additive manufacturing in the aerospace sector, but more work, such as the need for standardization and proper quality testing, is needed.
Designing for Additive Manufacturing:
Considerations for the Full Value Stream--Part One
by Caitlin OswaldThis two-part series condenses some of the limitless design possibilities inherent in additive manufacturing and captures advancing design strategies. Part One explores the design cycle and how pieces of that cycle interact and correlate, as well as designing for material properties and post-processing. Part Two, in the next issue of 3D Metal Printing, reviews producibility rules and guidelines, as well as topology optimization and other design-for-function opportunities.
