What is metal Additive Manufacturing?
Metal Additive Manufacturing, also known as metal 3D printing, offers the possibility to produce complex parts without many of the constraints of traditional manufacturing processes.
It is defined as “the process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing and formative manufacturing methodologies” (ISO/ASTM 52900:2021).
