Additive Manufacturing enables optimized fluid dynamics
For many years, part complexity has had a ceiling. Past a certain point, conventional production techniques could no longer deliver complex designs cost-effectively, or in

The latest Alfa Romeo F1 car doubles the amount of metal AM components.
The 2021 Alfa Romeo F1 race car, the C41, takes to the track with 304 additively manufactured metal parts, more than doubling the number from

Innovation comes from looking at things differently: for effective applications of metal AM, new approaches to a design should be considered.
In this article, Olaf Diegel, Noah Mostow and Terry Wohlers discuss the complex, and often multi-faceted, obstacles that stand between AM and its wider adoption,
