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 are printing prototypes or low-volume quantities, shifting 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 do you need in order to shift from prototyping AM to industrial AM?
• What is the impact of part orientation on post processing costs?
• Is it possible to shorten print time without hurting print quality?
• Can you save on material usage while maintaining design intent?
• How can you quickly accommodate to engineering changes?
• How to automate print preparations to shorten design to manufacturing cycle?
