•  De-Icing, Decongealing

•  Conformal envelopes

•  Second Sourcing – by achieving improved thermal performance and weight savings within existing envelopes

•  Prototypes: Rapid Prototyping

•  No Tooling: Eliminates the need for most tooling

•  Labor Savings: No welding, no brazing, less machining, and less inspection

•  Reduces Overhead: Reduces overhead (less direct labor, less utilities)

•  Reduces Scrap: Reduced scrap realized

•  Reduces Inventory: Reduces inventory (to powder)

•  Lights Out: True lights-out Mfg

•  Digital Factory: Integration of ‘Digital Factory’ with AMETEK and Customers/Suppliers with file/data sharing. Complete lot/data traceability down to individual components

•  Negatives: Significant Capital/Leasing investment in AM Machines and Support
