As user & machine manufacturer - why additive manufacturing & multi-material in particular achieve economic added value

For Schaeffler as a motion technology company, additive manufacturing (AM) offers numerous opportunities to improve existing products and enable new products.
In addition, the use of additive manufacturing in toolmaking is a potential field of application for Schaeffler with technical and economic added value, for example through the production of tools for use in series production.
With the development of a system for multi-material laser powder bed fusion, Schaeffler Special
Machinery, the Group's mechanical engineering company, is offering the first industrial solution for simultaneous multi-material printing. "Why multi-material?" - based on this question, the benefits of additivemulti-material production will be demonstrated. The outlook presents a concept for a holistic multi-material AM production system and its integration into Schaeffler's overall strategy.
