Home » The Role of Mechanical Testing in Additive Manufacturing Quality Assurance
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a rapidly growing trend in the manufacturing world. The benefits of additive manufacturing are very attractive, ranging from the ease of implementing design changes to eliminating the need for fasteners and assembly. As the process matures, we are seeing more impressive feats of technology such as large builds being completed in a single production run and components simultaneously being printed from two different materials. However, one top priority which we don’t often hear about is how to assure the quality of the materials and components created through this new process. The new capabilities of additive manufacturing are enticing, but suitable quality assurance is necessary for their ultimate success in the market. This article will focus on answering some of the most commonly asked questions about testing the quality of additive manufactured products.
