The Additive World: Expanding and Contracting

The AM industry is small yet constantly shifting—growing in some areas while contracting in others. With numerous competing technologies fighting for the same applications, applications are everything.

From low-volume injection molds to large sand-casting patterns, the right AM process depends on what you’re trying to achieve and the ability to execute to plan. But capability alone isn’t enough. The real challenge is realizing the value of 3D printing: reducing time and cost, without disrupting your workflow.

Why Work With Me?

For over ten years, I’ve been immersed in AM, talking daily with industry leaders, consultants, and engineers across every major technology—LPBF, WAAM, LFAM, binder jetting, SLA, DLP, micro-scale printing, and more. I know who’s being trusted and who’s looks good on paper. I’ve seen half-million-dollar machines sitting idle in multiple locations while a $700 machine runs nonstop.

Let’s Take an Intentional Approach to AM

• Identify your stakeholders and their needs.
• Upskill your team where necessary.
• Qualify the right parts and applications for AM.
• Drive profitability through the right additive strategies.

AM should be an asset, not a mountain to climb. Let’s make sure you’re using it the right way or in some cases not at all.
