Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a promising technology for producing spare parts, due to the wide variety of forms and materials that can be used their enhanced mechanical properties. Given these features low lead times compared classical manufacturing (CM), AM now being investigated management parts. This literature stream relatively new, with many works based on different hypotheses (e.g., rel...

High Performance Manufacturing (HPM) technology comprises new developments to reduce primary process times and lead times significantly by the means of enhanced cutting abilities, adapted tooling and machine concepts combined with integrated examination and optimization of the process chain. The overall objective of High Performance Manufacturing is to increase efficiency and quality of product...
