Parts Consolidation Improves Efficiency and Reduces Costs

Learn about transformational productivity through metal additive manufacturing and Part Count Reduction (PCR). Change the way you think about designing parts and understand the potential for revolutionary new designs in aerospace, automotive, energy and manufacturing industries. 

Experience how the integration of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) software, advanced metal additive manufacturing, and thoroughly developed metal materials are revolutionizing metal parts design and production.Part Consolidation

Learn how to improve production efficiency: (examples) 

  • Part Count reduction of 155:1 and production time reduction by 75% 
  • Assembly errors, checks and time reduced to zero 
  • 50% reduction in material volume and 60% increase in cost-effectiveness 
  • Reduced part weight of 20% with 20% improvement in performance
