Additive Manufacturing: Materials as 3D Printing’s Greatest Challenge

There are thousands of materials on the market with different manufacturing applications in conventional processes, such as molding and machining. But what about for additive manufacturing? Material cost and selection is one of the major challenges in the development and adoption of 3D printing in industrial production. The rate of adoption of industrial additive manufacturing will be directly correlated to availability of a diverse range of custom commodity and engineering materials.
