Miniaturized Solid-State Metal Additive Manufacturing Tooling and Design
THE CHALLENGE
The main challenge with current friction-based, solid-state metal additive manufacturing methods—like traditional Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD)—lies in their reliance on bulky equipment, large feedstock rods, and high-force machinery, which limits flexibility, increases costs, and restricts use to factory settings....
