Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive Manufacturing

The additive manufacturing industry has faced a number of challenges the past few years. Several major companies in the space have seen sales decline and gone through dramatic restructuring, while others have merged or been acquired.

When we traveled to the Additive Manufacturing Strategies conference in New York in February, we got the sense that AM companies were refocusing on core competencies and proven applications.

In this Special Focus Issue, we take a look at some of those more successful strategies and applications, including hybrid manufacturing, AM parts certification, the use of AI to improve quality, and winning approaches to design for additive manufacturing (DfAM).
