eBook: Should You Use Additive Manufacturing to Produce Your Next Part?

Though it began in rapid prototyping, 3D printing has begun to proliferate throughout the manufacturing sector. Many engineers now find themselves faced with a simple question: 

Should I 3D print my next part? 

The answer to this question depends on the answers to many others. These include:
 

• What material properties do you need?
• Is high strength or light weight a priority?
• Which geometric features make sense for additive manufacturing (AM) and which do not?
• Do you have rigid cost or time constraints?
