ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF SMALL AND MICRO METAL PARTS
Additive Manufacturing (AM) which is also known as 3D printing has received increased attention over the last couple of years and has proven to be an innovative manufacturing technology that can be applied in multiple industrial sectors. However, the term „Additive Manufacturing“ includes a large variety of technologies that offer different advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, according to the desired characteristics of the finished part, one technology can be more suitable for the manufacturing of the part than another. This results in the challenge to select the adequate technology for a specific application.
