For the Government and Defense sector, metal 3D printing offers dramatic productivity benefits in several key areas, including:
- Rapid and cost-effective fabrication of complex metal parts and subassemblies
- Elimination of CNC shop bottlenecks, and foundry lead times and non-recurring engineering expenses
- Assembly consolidation for improved performance, reliability, and cost
- Mass production of key machine components - with no need for tooling and non-recurring engineering charges
- On-demand production of replacement or custom parts
