Hybrid Manufacturing with Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing provides an outstanding technological and economic potential for a wide range of industries. Particularly in the field of small series production with many product variants, the technology offers decisive advantages, such as reducing component weight, functional integration, complex parts or individualization. Today potential users struggle with the integration of this technology in their businesses. The production costs of this technology often seem too high compared to traditionally manufactured parts and many users seem disappointed with the performance of the technology. The reasons for that are manifold, but often Additive Manufacturing is considered only as an isolated technology.
