Additive manufacturing (AM) offers unique solutions for complex geometries and high-pressure die-casting efficiency in the automotive industry. As the two industries merge it creates a powerful synergy, elevating both technologies to new heights.
To explore additive’s impact on the automotive industry, Fabian welcomes Wes Byleveld, Director of Additive Manufacturing at Exco Engineering. For 10 years, Wes has been connecting conventional manufacturing processes with additive innovations. The conversation ranges from eliminating waste, reduction of porosity, cycle-time reduction, and polishing-related downtime.
