I want to break free: The journey towards reducing or eliminating support structures
Support structures have been there for us since the beginning of AM, anchoring us to a firm foundation and taking the heat when things get intense.

In this article, Jennifer Coyne and John Barnes, of The Barnes Global Advisors, explore our journey so far with support structures, their advantages and disadvantages, and consider the opportunities and impact of the shift towards ‘support free’ strategies. Through three case studies, the cost and productivity of conventional and ‘support free’ production are compared.
