Top Eight Challenges of Launching In-House Additive Manufacturing

Turn additive manufacturing roadblocks into a durable competitive advantage with a practical executive guide that separates aspirational talk from operational reality—cost modeling that goes beyond the printer, the interdisciplinary talent mix required for metal AM, post‑processing as the true throughput determinant, the multi‑year nature of certification, and the digital thread that makes traceability and audits routine rather than disruptive fire drills.

Why Additive Manufacturing Programs Stall

Most Additive Manufacturing initiatives stall not because the technology lacks potential, but because adoption is an ecosystem challenge that touches finance, facilities, safety, data, and culture—far beyond the excitement of a first machine purchase or a successful prototype print. Costs escalate in the shadows—software, site preparation, powder handling, inert gas systems, fire suppression, and advanced post‑processing—and talent scarcity in DfAM, simulation, metallurgy, build strategy, and QA turns otherwise promising programs into extended proofs of concept without a credible path to certification or unit economics at scale.

What You’ll Learn from this eBook:

This concise guide highlights common hurdles in standing up modern additive manufacturing capabilities and offers practical pointers on costs, skills, process efficiency, downstream operations, quality, and workflow integration, helping teams make informed next steps.
