Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing is defined as the process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies.
This manufacturing method creates limitless opportunities for prototyping and one-off to medium-sized batch production. As industry trends towards lighter materials, stronger materials, quicker turnaround, and limiting resources, additive manufacturing is an optimal choice. CDME has a $3M additive manufacturing laboratory that boasts 3D printers capable of processing a range of materials.
