Optimizing Serial Production with AM Software

Additive manufacturing (AM) software enables AM processes, ensuring a successful print that matches the original design. While this may be sufficient when you print prototypes or low-volume quantities, moving to serial production requires focusing on optimization. When every cent counts, optimizing design, minimizing printing time and material usage, and shortening the design-to-manufacturing cycle is critical for your success. Learn how controlling every detail in the manufacturing process with AM software has a direct impact on your bottom line. Primary topics include:

• What you need to shift from prototyping AM to industrial AM
• The impact of part orientation on post-processing costs
• How to shorten print time without affecting print quality
• How to reduce material usage while maintaining design intent
• How to accommodate engineering changes quickly
• How to automate print preparation for a reduced design-to-manufacturing cycle
