Metal additive manufacturing has come a long way. From a classroom curiosity, it's evolved into a go to part making method for many advanced industries like aerospace and healthcare. Traditional constraints like material availability, speed, resolution, as well as cost have been largely addressed in many applications. It's viable and cost-effective, but what will it take to move this technology into the forefront, ahead of traditional subtractive technologies like CNC machining?

Jim Anderton discusses the issues with Dr. Ankit Saharan, Senior Manager for Metals Technology at EOS.
