Aluminum is a widely used material for applications requiring fatigue resistance and weight reduction. Aluminum parts printed through additive manufacturing (AM) have proven to be a cost-effective and efficient manufacturing strategy when your design and application is right.

This webinar will cover the benefits and challenges of AM aluminum and highlight the industries adopting this material as a go-to manufacturing option for production parts. Also learn about advancements in additive machines that are enabling the production of large parts using aluminum AM.
