The second CNTR Fact Sheet by Liska Suckau (CNTR/PRIF) provides an overview of the characteristics, benefits and current limitations of additive manufacturing. In addition, it highlights the technology's various applications within the military realm, outlines potential problems, and takes a look at future prospects of additive manufacturing.
The Fact Sheet on additive manufacturing is part of CNTR's Fact Sheet series. The Fact Sheets are published on a regular basis to make the project's research findings available to a wider audience and to counteract disinformation. These short-format publications provide facts and figures as well as short explanations on CNTR’s research topics. CNTR Fact Sheets are available as open-access publications on our website.
