The uses of additive technologies when working with metal can be both indirect through printing typically plastic manufacturing aids for various processes and manufacturing stages as well as direct through directy producing complex metal components with metal additive manufacturing. Our application expert will give you insight into tangible use cases on production and assembly operations and examples of how to tailor jigs, fixtures, profile gauges, and locators to specific processes and components and quickly iterate for continuous improvement without costly traditional tool making and burdensome inventory costs. For metal working companies who are looking for thorough functional improvements or fast prototypes of thin walled parts, metal additive manufacturing use cases will show you how flow improvements and part consolidation are enabled.
