In this episode, we'll dive into how metal additive manufacturing (AM) offers a significant advantage over traditional manufacturing processes by drastically reducing material waste
Discover how metal AM achieves an impressive buy-to-fly ratio of less than 2:1, compared to the 10:1 ratio of conventional milling, resulting in 50-80% less material waste. We’ll also address the challenge of optimizing costly and limited materials in metal AM.
We’ll discuss innovative strategies for resource conservation, such as repurposing scrap materials—like unused raw materials, support structures, and obsolete parts—into valuable new powder.
Join us as we delve into sustainable practices in metal AM with Continuum Powders, a leader in eco-friendly metal powders.
Speakers:
Rob Higby, CEO, Continuum
Greg Bartley, CCO, Continuum
