Business case and adoption of additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing techniques open up a world of new options, but are generally expensive. This is why it is important to start with a business case to analyse the benefits in comparison to the costs. Furthermore, manufacturing directly from digital data involves legal hurdles and gaining approval for processes in regulated markets such as medical technology or aviation is a huge challenge. Find out in this focus topic how to develop a successful business case and deal with legal issues.
