Additive Manufacturing's Role in Appliance Design

Shortly to follow came selective laser sintering (SLS) and fuse deposition modeling (FDM), while additional processes assisted with design limitations and costs that manufacturing originally faced, there were still constraints. RTV molds allowed for tools to produce castings which reduced costs as opposed to producing them via an additive manufacturing process such as SLA. Technologies such as the introduction of high speed machining expedited the response for getting parts out of production materials and for the tools produced to decrease in price.
