In recent years, additive manufacturing technologies have developed rapidly due to their capability of manufacturing complex components without the restriction of conventional manufacturing processes, resulting in reduction of the lead-time, material waste and costs. Nevertheless, there are still significant obstacles in the production of large-volume components particularly in the efficiency of the process. A major … Read more

It is a question often asked by engineers, supply chain professionals, and shop managers alike. Surprisingly, the answer is more straightforward than one might suspect. While a laser is still a relatively expensive tool to operate, the benefits offered in the re-manufacturing of critical components are substantial, especially under life cycle cost considerations. What is … Read more
