360° AM competence from a single source
Additive Manufacturing (AM) - also known as “3D printing” - is a manufacturing process in which components are built up layer by layer directly from digital 3D models. This is in contrast to conventional, subtractive processes, in which material is removed from a blank to achieve the desired shape. Additive Manufacturing makes it possible to produce complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to achieve using traditional methods.
