Balancing the Speed and Technology of Additive Manufacturing with the Mature and Methodical Thermal Processing Industry

As the industry works to optimize mass production, safe, reliable and repeatable additive manufacturing solutions are required. The focus on additive manufacturing is at an all-time high, which means innovators need innovative heat treating solutions for additively manufactured components. Collaborative efforts where furnace manufacturers work with component manufacturers to understand the process result in the best possible outcomes. In this presentation, information is provided for those interested in 3D printing for additive manufacturing to think about the critical role heat-treating plays in this rapidly growing industry.
