Editorial: Additive manufacturing: is a bigger bed size always better? (docx)
An emerging trend in the additive manufacturing (AM) sector is the release of machines with larger bed sizes. While necessary to produce large components, some manufacturers are using large systems for the volume production of small parts. However, smaller machines that are optimised for productivity may deliver better return on investment (ROI). Here Stephen Crownshaw, Head of AM Sales at global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, discusses AM bed size and its impact on productivity.
