Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) has never lacked ambition. It can produce geometries that conventional manufacturing cannot, consolidate assemblies, reduce weight, enable new thermal and fluidic performance, and support more resilient supply chains. In sectors such as aerospace, defence, energy, medical, and advanced engineering, the argument for metal AM is already well understood.
