With increasing concerns about global warming and stiff competition, industries are actively looking to cut their costs, carbon footprint, and lead times. Additive Manufacturing can help companies in achieving these goals by reducing waste and enabling them to build complex, bio-inspired, geometries which reduce weight and increase efficiency. As companies are now evaluating Additive Manufacturing for production and not only prototyping, the role of materials is becoming more important to ensure the required mechanical properties, productivity and performance. 

In this episode of AM Infocast powered by m4p material solutions GmbH, I am joined by Priyanshu Bajaj, Regional Manager - Asia Pacific, m4p material solutions GmbH where we discuss the challenges and opportunities of materials designed for Metal Additive Manufacturing and talk about some cutting edge applications only possible with developing new alloys for use in the AM process.
