eHandbook: Drive Value With Additive Innovation

June 10, 2025
Powered by cloud-based design tools, real-time collaboration and advanced materials, additive manufacturing has moved beyond prototyping. Manufacturers are reshaping product design and meeting shop floor demands through full-scale production.

The central theme uniting the articles in this eBook on driving value through additive manufacturing, is the growing shift of additive manufacturing from a prototyping tool to a viable solution for production at scale. Supporting this trend is a range of supporting trends—including the shift towards more flexible and efficient manufacturing methods, leveraging AM to produce parts in quantities ranging from one to a few hundred, and advancements in 3D printing materials. These ideas, along with the role of metrology tools and techniques, converge to close the manufacturing loop. 

This eBook includes discussions on:

  • Is the Next Big Leap in Additive Manufacturing Fueled by Metrology?
  • Going Mainstream: Additive Manufacturing Bolsters Production Methods
  • Q&A: Enhancing Performance and Versatility with Advanced 3D Printing Materials
  • Closing the Manufacturing Loop (Part 2): Reverse Engineering and Additive Manufacturing
  • Additive Manufacturing Innovations Drive Industry Forward
  • Dive into Software Solutions that Support Additive Manufacturing
