Metal 3D printing via laser powder bed fusion is an expensive process, one which leaves little room for failure in postprocessing steps. Ultimately, a face grooving attachment from Big Daishowa met KAM’s needs, enabling the manufacturer to reduce cycle times for the operation, extend tool life and improve repeatability.

What does that mean for the qualification of 3D printed parts? is to leverage additive manufacturing to reduce maintenance cycle times, curb supply chain backlogs, and place manufacturing capabilities at or near the point of need. Most of these printers capable of printing green bin parts are polymer.

But when we ordered a sofa trundle bed we ran up against a supply chain bottleneck. Recently, the CBS news program, 60 Minutes , ran a piece describing the very problem with global supply chain bottlenecks in the port of Los Angeles that likely had befouled our sofabed purchase. We repainted. No problem. We then ordered it.
