Polymer-based AM has been available commercially for quite some time and is regularly used to facilitate prototyping and more » test fitting of parts later to be fabricated in metal or to produce low production quantity parts that do not require high structural strength. ![]() AM design rules are still being developed and must be applied differently based on the process and purpose of the final component, but progress is being made in practical implementation. While AM is not a panacea to fix bad design concepts, properly used AM can create features and capabilities otherwise not possible in machined or cast products. ![]() = ,Īdditive manufacturing (AM) in both polymer and metal has advanced to the point where it can substantially facilitate robot and remote system design and implementation.
