Automotive
Construction
Additive Manufacturing eliminates the need for (a) , which speeds up production time and reduces costs.
The ability to create complex geometries and integrate multiple parts into a single build is known as (a) .
AM is considered more environmentally friendly because it uses (a) material compared to traditional subtractive processes.
Additive Manufacturing allows for the customisation of parts at no additional cost.
True
False
AM processes are typically more wasteful than traditional machining processes.
True
False
The material properties of AM parts are always inferior to those produced using forging or casting.
True
False
Additive Manufacturing enables the production of lightweight components, which is especially important in industries like aerospace.
True
False
