What is AM?

Additive manufacturing (AM), also called 3D printing, creates a three-dimensional part from a digital file.

Thin layers of material are used to create complex shapes which cannot be produced by 'traditional' techniques such as casting, forging and machining.

AM provides new design possibilities, including opportunities to combine multiple components in production, minimise material use and reduce tooling costs.
