Metal 3D printing can produce parts with mechanical properties comparable to traditionally manufactured components.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Advanced metal AM processes (SLM, EBM, DMLS) produce fully dense parts with mechanical properties meeting aerospace/medical standards. Post-processing (heat treatment, machining) may be required. Advantages: design freedom, part consolidation, and rapid iteration. Challenges: cost, surface finish, and certification. Important for advanced manufacturing questions.
