Additively manufactured (AM) components frequently leave the build process extremely close to final geometry—often within just a few thousandths of an inch of net shape. That near‑net reality is a major productivity advantage, but it also eliminates the material buffer that conventional machining relies on. With minimal remaining stock, the finishing process must assume nothing and validate everything.

The pressure on businesses today, regardless of industry, is clear: Move faster, operate more efficiently and continue innovating despite tighter financial constraints.

Control Station, a leading provider of process optimization and control performance monitoring solutions, has announced that Chris Christie, PhD, has joined the company as director of services.
