Design for Additive Manufacturing, Part 3

Here are the most common pitfalls when designing parts for additive manufacturing.
Nick Allen
December 12, 2022

Different additive manufacturing (AM) processes have different constraints that can determine how easily and consistently they can produce parts. Some constraints are universal across the different processes; some are more specific to the type of process used. At 3DPRINTUK, we specialize in powder bed fusion (PBF) processes with polymer materials.
