Production plus 3D printing saves materials and resources
Lightweight construction and 3D printing make a good match. A new brief analysis features four scenarios showing the potential for savings additive manufacturing can offer companies in industrial production.

There are many examples of what 3D printing in lightweight construction can make possible in today’s age: bionic structures or small series that previously wouldn’t have been efficient to produce. Resource efficiency is just as important. But all theory is gray, and researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Ferdinand-Steinbeis Institute have developed a
Among other things, the study reveals how using external AM (additive manufacturing) service providers can achieve scale effects. Potentials for savings can be realized by using and better utilizing in-house machines when finishing AM products. The study also addresses the opportunities and risks presented by additive manufacturing as a service.
The results of the analysis are supported by a
