3D INKJET PRINTING
- High tolerance
- Good surface finish
- Thin walls
- Small complex components
Additive manufacturing is the process of building parts by joining the materials layer by layer from a CAD file.
The advantages of Additive manufacturing are:
- Rapid production of manufacturing aids.
- Reduced costly machining
- Increased efficiency
- Allowing for production without tooling
- Reduces waste
- Allowing businesses to produce prototype parts on short lead times at a lower cost.
