that one of the most common pitfalls in on-boarding applications for Addivitve Manufacturing is using technique as a starting point.

Consequently, product development and innovation is prone to focussing on the limitations of  production technologies.

Instead, one should exploring the possibilities from user or applications perspective. In other words, one should focus on ‘the why’ (application) and end-up with ‘the what’ (techniques).

In between remains ‘the ‘how’ that should cover the match with the relevant benefits of AM. Every unique application has its own specific requirements and consequently specific considerations to choose for AM.

• We define the challenges for your application and the drivers to apply AM.
• Relevant benefits of AM are explored to enhance product features like lightweight structures, integrated functionality, special textures or topology optimization.
• Economical drivers should also be taken in consideration, such as less inventories, shorter time to market, mass customization or reduction of assemblies.

• All necessary requirements are defined to select the proper material and therefore the appropriate production process(es) and post-processing services.

• Other steps and services such as proto-typing, risk assessment, re-design, testing and pilot runs are defined to meet all your requirements and to mitigate any risks.

• Your receive our best proposal, tailored to your needs and expectations.
