Metal additive manufacturing (AM) stands poised to expand its footprint in the manufacturing sector, transitioning from a proven prototyping tool and small-lot fabrication process to mainstream part production. But there’s a catch. Today’s AM technology isn’t predictable and repeatable enough to be cost-effective for companies that want to use AM to mass-produce parts. Currently, engineers must go through an iterative…
