AM Benefits/Competitive Advantages Different for each market, but in A&D/general; Enable new product design features - make things you can’t make any other way Make it cheaper (fewer operations, simplified supply chain) – consider total life cycle costs and an holistic approach Reduce time to innovate and launch new products Support lean/agile manufacturing Produce replacement parts for legacy systems Reduce material waste and energy usage Support environmental sustainability
AM Value Proposition Different for each industry but for A&D; ─ Primes want high quality cheaper parts, on shorter delivery cycles from a diverse and financially healthy supply base ─ Supply base wants revenue from Primes/OEMs based on their competitive advantage in processing/quality/consistency ─ No-one wants to pay for the $XMs to generate the required mechanical properties ─ Collaboration affords sharing costs for data development ─ Business analysis – very little data in public domain, regarding the true cost/cost reduction as very few parts are in production. EBFFF meets the cost requirements for large aerospace parts in Ti-6-4, but may be too expensive for other industries – hence the need to develop/qualify other processes ─ The ‘chicken and egg cycle’ needs to be broken for public domain data funded by government agencies ─ Europe has/is spending $56M to date since 2004
