BIG TECHNOLOGY IN SMALL PACKAGES.
Additive manufacturing (AM) for electronic components is a fast-growing area due to the integration of 3D printing alongside other manufacturing assets. Some of the current trends facing the electronics industry are greater customization, on-demand production, faster time-to-market, and the use of novel materials. Additive technology allows companies to integrate these trends at lower cost due to the short-run nature of 3D printing. From molds and housings to heat exchangers and communication parts, the diversity of AM opens up a wealth of possibilities for the electronics industry.
