Additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, has immense potential in manufacturing. It enables the creation of complex designs, rapid prototyping, and on-demand production, reducing lead times and costs. With 3D printing, manufacturers can customize products, reduce material waste, and produce intricate components that would be challenging to manufacture using traditional methods. This technology is revolutionizing various industries, including aerospace, healthcare, and automotive, and has the potential to reshape the entire supply chain.
