Suitability of Parts for Additive Manufacturing
{"Image DocumentName": "Suitability of Parts for Additive Manufacturing", "Image ImageDescription": "AM makes sense for some, but not all components. Existing clear business case for using AM. Many processing steps, intensive machining. AM saves time, has less raw material waste. No existing business case, but redesign could create one. Current design more expensive with AM. Redesigned part could be more cost effective using additive technique. Consolidation of multi-part assembly into single component. No existing business case, low likelihood that redesign could impact. Low cost conventional processing (e.g., stamping) Satisfactory performance. High part volumes required. Redesign may improve the performance independent of cost.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
