Abstract [en]
From an industrial standpoint, cost is of one of the most important drivers for utilizing new technologies such as additive manufacturing (AM). Other important drivers for why AM can be an advantageous technology for component manufacturing is decreased manufacturing lead time, rapid demonstration capability, freedom of design/geometry, advancing technology development, and not least sustainability in terms of both material utilization and improved part/system performance. In this chapter, six selected “case studies” are compiled, in which AM techniques have been used to manufacture components for actual applications. In some case studies, a comparison between the additive manufacturing route and the corresponding conventional manufacturing route is also included.
