🔧 Is Additive Manufacturing for Parts or Products? The Answer Might Surprise You!

 3D printing isn’t just about making parts—it’s revolutionizing entire PRODUCTS. Here’s how:

⚙️ AM for PARTS:

✔️ Consolidates assemblies (multiple parts → one)
✔️ Enables impossible geometries (like Domin’s hydraulic valve with organic chambers & flexure spools)
✔️ Delivers faster, better-performing components

🚀 AM for PRODUCTS:

✔️ Creates market-disrupting innovations (e.g., Apiar’s 3D-printed watches, Marle’s implants)
✔️ Redefines industries (Conflux’s AM-optimized heat exchangers)
✔️ Fuels new business models (DI Labs’ product-ready AM systems)

Domin’s hydraulic valves—smaller, lighter, longer-lasting—show how AM doesn’t just make parts… it reinvents products.

🤔 Who Should Use AM?

Not just OEMs or contract manufacturers—but NEW COMPANIES built around AM’s potential. Think:
🔹 Startups with "only-possible-with-AM" designs
🔹 Innovators like Baker Hughes, scaling qualified AM products
🔹 Firms like Domin, which asked: "What product can we reimagine?"

The bottom line? AM’s future isn’t just better parts—it’s transformative PRODUCTS.
