The vision of using metal additive manufacturing (AM) for distributed manufacturing 3D printing the same industrial product within specification at geographically dispersed locations is a compelling one. While conventional manufacturing technology has delivered in-country products on a global basis for decades, that has often involved dedicated, high-cost production assets and personnel lacking flexibility.
