All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Metal 3D printing has caught the attention of many large industries. There have been stories of great success using metal 3D printing. Some of the largest industries to successfully use metal 3D printing are aerospace and medical. These industries have succeeded with metal 3D printing because of their need for light and complex parts. These success stories lead other industries to investigate how metal 3D printing or Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) can help them. Industries that are involved in high volume production ask how they can take advantage of the complexity and customization that is available with 3D printing. …
