Manufacturing Engineering
In the March issue, we examine the brave new world of additive manufacturing (AM). In our additive outlook feature, Ray Huff and Terry Wohlers of Wohlers Associates explain how AM is developing rapidly in both capability and use. In “Metal Milestones in 3D Printing”, Kip Hanson notes that, while metal AM is a relative newcomer compared to polymer AM, its popularity for end-use products is growing fast. Also in “New Polymer Applications in AM”, Ed Sinkora says that while the 3D printing of polymers has been around for over 30 years, new applications are coming online—including the mass production of simple plastic parts.
