The automotive and energy sectors are driving the full value chain of additive manufacturing of metal towards a smart, virtual factory, where 3D printing and traditional technologies of metal processing can play side‐by‐side, exploiting their respective potential towards an efficient and productive process chain. The end users and system integrators recognize the fundamental role that photonics plays towards fully automated additive manufacturing: let's see why and how.
