Additive manufacturing post-processing
Post-processing, in one form or another, is inevitable with additive manufacturing (AM), and it’s particularly critical for serial production applications – influencing cost and the time it takes between a part leaving the AM system and being ready for use. Additive Manufacturing Technologies Ltd. CEO Joseph Crabtree offers insight into what to consider and emerging solutions.
