Aitiip Centro Tecnológico's latest article on Analysis of Energy and Material Consumption for the Manufacturing of an Aeronautical Tooling: An Experimental Comparison between Pure Machining and Big Area Additive Manufacturing! 📄🌱

Key findings include:
1. Material Efficiency: BAAM is significantly more material-efficient, as it generates less waste compared to traditional machining, which results in substantial material loss during the process.
2. Energy Consumption: While BAAM requires more energy during production due to the additive process, the reduced material wastage often offsets its higher energy demand, making it a potentially more sustainable approach.
3. Application Suitability: BAAM is particularly advantageous for creating large, complex parts where traditional machining would involve significant waste and higher production times.
4. Environmental Impact: The study suggests that BAAM could reduce the environmental footprint of manufacturing aeronautical tooling, especially when combined with renewable energy sources and sustainable materials.

This comparison helps manufacturers weigh the trade-offs between material efficiency, energy consumption, and overall sustainability when choosing a production method. For further details, you can read the full article.
