The perception that additive manufacturing is strictly a prototyping technology is quickly going by the wayside, largely thanks to companies which are using AM for production applications. One of the companies pushing AM production steadily ahead and which is proving its viability for making end-parts is California-based 3DEO.
The company, founded in 2016, leverages its proprietary Intelligent Layering® process—a sort of binder jetting and milling hybrid—to deliver low cost, high quality parts to its clients. We recently caught up with 3DEO Vice President Lance Kallman to talk about how the company is going beyond conceptions about additive manufacturing by using it exclusively for production manufacturing.
