Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are often challenged to deploy additive manufacturing (AM) technology because of the high cost of entry. A European Union (EU) program can help address this challenge. The EU-funded AdditiveManufacturABLE (AMable) program is helping SMEs develop their ideas into final products, as well as creating a digital framework to provide access to European AM knowledge. According…
