Metal additive manufacturing (3D printing) has become a vital technology used in to manufacture complex parts faster and more efficiently than traditional manufacturing methods. But while conventional metal AM excels at producing one-off and low volume runs, many of those same systems lack the repeatability required to bring parts production to scale.
Velo3D’s Director of Technical Sales, Gene Miller and Technical Sales Engineer, Michael Harsch, discuss the roadblocks to successfully scale metal AM and share how the Velo3D fully integrated metal AM solution overcomes those challenges by mitigating variation in the printed process through standardization—allowing engineers to drive innovation and produce parts at scale and with consistent material and geometric properties.
