文摘:Established in 1975 and based in Manchester, Concept Metal Products Ltd (www.conceptmetal.co.uk) uses a variety of processes - including shearing, bending, punching, and laser cutting - to fabricate sheet metal into custom shapes that meet customers' specific requirements. Recently, the company was looking to increase its ability to react faster to customers' needs and win more orders with quicker turnround times. Although the Concept Metal team was well-versed in CAD, they had virtually no experience with additive manufacturing (AM), although they reckoned that AM would not only shorten lead times for tool production and give them greater control but also the flexibility to create tools designed for specialist applications.
