1 April 2014 Metal Additive Manufacturing: opportunities in applications and improvements in process technology
Additive Manufacturing (AM), or 3D Printing, has seen a meteoric rise in recent years. From Whitehouse funding programmes in the US, AM handguns to print me a Stradivarius it seems that anything is possible with this technology. Or is it? How do you separate fact from over-sold fiction? We cannot promise all the answers, but at this event we will explore AM reality.
