Additive manufacturing (AM) is an alternative method for producing parts and can be an economical method even when compared to traditional manufacturing methods, especially for low volume and/or high complexity parts. Over the past decade, process and material advances have greatly improved the quality and robustness of AM parts (also referred to as 3D printing) as well as a greater number of material choices.
