Keywords:Additive Manufacturing, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), Cost, Lean Production, Sustainability

For many years, additive manufacturing has been used to demonstrate how new features and production designs can benefit the user and application.
AM is now moving into the industrialisation phase and many companies are investing heavily to install full scale production facilities.
There is increasing focus on repeatability, quality and the overall need to reduce cost to compete with traditional production methods. Here, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), plays a key role.
This presentation with show examples of cost reduction whilst reducing environmental impact and ensuring product quality.
