With Additive Manufacturing, the full recipe to manufacture a part is sharable and storable. This is one of the key drivers of On Demand AM, taking place at multiple digital production sites, distributed around the world, closer to customers.

The SDAM Alliance wants to make an active contribution to develop solutions that improve data management for AM and lend end-to-end visibility to all its processes.
