Transforming concepts into market-ready products is a major challenge in the highly competitive electronics industry, where product complexity is continuously increasing with the trend towards smaller and thinner devices with higher functionality. Although globalization has allowed for outsourcing of electronics production, the risk of IP theft along with time and cost penalties makes it an unfavorable choice.
On the other hand, equipment operators are finding it increasingly unfeasible to maintain a large inventory of complex parts for maintenance, even as it remains the only option to improve system reliability in a traditional manufacturing environment.
With the introduction of additive manufacturing to the electronics world, the above problems can finally become history. Find out more about how additive manufacturing is beneficial for the electronics industry via our free White Paper below.
