Finding selective markets, additive manufacturing becomes competitive

Chang, Milton

Abstract

3D printing is a hot topic. Even The Economist featured an article titled "3-D Printing, From Dental Braces to Astronaut's Seats" in its September 7, 2013 issue. It reports that Boeing and Airbus are using 12 m machines to print titanium jet fuselages. Here, I interview Dr. Ingomar Kelbassa, deputy director at the Laser Technology LLT at RWTH Aachen University and Department Head at the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology. We will limit the discussion to laser additive manufacturing of metal parts.
