MMT Chats: The Connection Between Additive Manufacturing Education and ROI
This MMT Chat continues the conversation with Action Mold and Machining, as two members of the Additive Manufacturing team dig a little deeper into AM education, AM’s return on investment and the facility and equipment requirements to implement AM properly.
Share
Action Mold and Machining’s Additive Manufacturing Manager Greg Nemecek and Matt Duffey, Marketing & Advanced Development for AM previously discussed the strong connection between AM education and ROI, the team and technology that make up Action Mold & Machining’s additive capabilities, including their laser powder bed system and new young AM advocate in training, the company’s AM goals and recommendations for getting the entire team to buy into adopting AM.
Now we turn to the importance of having the capabilities to offer support to your customer beyond AM, the necessary facility and equipment requirements, and how AM in moldmaking is quickest return on investment.
