Additive Manufacturing: Prototype to Production 162 provides an overview of the production uses, considerations, and approaches to additive manufacturing (AM). Although often used for rapid prototyping, it is becoming more common for manufacturing facilities to use additive manufacturing for end-use products. As end-use processes evolve, comparing key factors such as time, cost, and quality can help decision-makers choose between AM and traditional machining for their parts or products. After taking this class, users will be able to describe how additive manufacturing is used for production, identify the production processes, and describe their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, users will better understand the material properties and appearance of additively manufactured parts and appreciate how end-use processes can complement traditional manufacturing.
