The possibilities and benefits are exciting

Unlocks materials science

Only uses the material you need - uses less material

Design no longer constrained by conventional manufacturing processes

Allows design for functionality

Speed and flexibility of development

A revolutionary set of technologies – not evolutionary

Phased introduction is implicitly required

Secondary derivative structure before primary optimised

Need to pin variables to gain acceptance

Process and material are now linked like never before

Big challenge to the industry in evaluation

How to certify

New and novel QA techniques required
