White Paper – Metal 3D Printing for Machine Design
For simplicity, speed, and most importantly cost in machine design, machine designers strive to use as many off-the-shelf components as possible. Invariably, though, some parts must be custom-made – and therein lies most of the challenge with typical CNC machining processes which are often costly and labor-intensive.
It is key to ensure machines run efficiently, produce consistent results and can be easily repaired or replaced as components inevitably wear out or break over time. This is where 3D printing comes into play as it dramatically simplifies the process of creating custom parts faster and at lower costs than machining.
