The path to serial production with metal additive manufacturing requires careful planning…. 

In this production playbook, we will share some lessons learned on our own additive journey to help others as they take steps to shift to industrialization. Barriers that we will dive into are: 

• Part identification 
• Returning investment profit 
• An experience gap 
• A talent or resource shortage 
• Cultural resistance to change 

If not tackled correctly, these barriers and their key variables – machines, process, powder and parts – might derail your additive strategy.
