Advanced CAD users have lamented that some complex surfaces and shapes they could model with their software could not be manufactured due to the limitations of production technologies. However, the advances in additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing flipped the situation. Many CAD users found out their software couldn’t digitally model the complex shapes AM hardware is itching to print.…

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…
