Additive Manufacturing" (AM) enables parts to be produced close to dimension by successive addition of material, without the need to build specific tooling. For the aeronautical sector, which involves small production runs of high value-added parts, the benefits lie in reduced manufacturing lead times and a better buy-to-fly ratio, leading to significant...
