Why does a subtractive cutting tool manufacturer rely on metal 3D printing? 🤯

Is metal 3D printing a complement to CNC machining or a competitor?

This video dispels some misconceptions and is a great insight into a cutting tool made with the Markforged Metal X system.

Can the component withstand 10,000 rpm and machining of aluminum?

Guhring UK has proven that using both technologies together leads to the following benefits:

✅ Tool with lower weight
✅ More cost-effective prototyping
✅ Lower costs for small series

Additive manufacturing and traditional machining probably fit together better than most people would have expected.
