Path to Production
Metal additive manufacturing continues to gain momentum with many organizations starting to look at shifting to a full-scale commercial production. Download our playbook Planning a successful transition to serial additive production, in which we share some lessons learned on our own additive journey to help others as they take steps to shift to industrialization.
The path to serial production with metal additive manufacturing can be littered with dangerous pitfalls, unnecessary detours and unknown obstacles. An experienced guide can get you where you’re going using the most direct and fastest route. If implemented correctly, additive manufacturing can lead to substantial benefits, such as shorter production lead times, cost savings, consolidated part counts, reduced waste, improved sustainability and an enhanced supply chain.
GE Additive created a Production Playbook to share some lessons learned on our own additive journey and help others as they take steps to shift to industrialization. Topics addressed include:
• Embracing change
• Addressing production challenges
• Transitioning to additive serial production: Things to consider
• Choosing the right partner
Taking these into consideration, along with their key variables – machines, processes, powders and parts – will help lead to additive success.
