In additive manufacturing, unlike conventional methods, a component is not milled from a block or cast in a mold, but is generated layer by layer. This book presents a variety of different aspects of additive manufacturing and explains the applications and potentials of these processes for series production using practical examples: Where and how can additive manufacturing be successfully implemented? The authors outline possible business models against the backdrop of a holistic development and manufacturing process, including production in microfactories. Readers will learn how to predict manufacturing time and costs, how reliable additively manufactured structural components are, and to what extent additive manufacturing processes are suitable for the production of end products. Furthermore, the authors discuss.
