Complex structures

Intricate metal parts previously dif�cult or

impossible to produce with conventional

manufacturing can be produced faster and

more cost-effectively.

Part / assembly consolidation

Reduce required parts and manufacturing costs

by consolidating assemblies.

Weight reduction

Part consolidation and 3D printing’s design

freedom results in a lighter part.

Waste reduction

Only the required material is used to create a part.

In powder-bed technologies, leftover powders

can be reused.
