Additive Manufacturing as a Key Technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Additive manufacturing (AM) has become a key technology in modern manufacturing. It enables the production of complex structures with near-final-contour accuracy, thereby contributing to greater efficiency and sustainability. The European Union views AM as a key technology for a greener and digitally connected future. Despite the growing market, barriers such as challenges in the materials supply chain, quality assurance, and digitalization, as well as uncertainties regarding cost-effectiveness and training, are hindering broader market penetration. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
