Additive Manufacturing’s Manifold Benefits
How would you make a weight-bearing manifold without machining?
Within Technologies provided the photograph of this part, which was produced additively using a machine from EOS. Within also provided the rendering showing a cutaway of the part’s design. Within makes software tools that simplify the creation of complex geometric structures according to the engineering requirements of a component. Another example of a part designed in Within and produced on a machine from EOS (in this case, at IMTS) can be seen here.
