Additive manufacturing (AM) has become one of the biggest trends in modern, industrial ma-nufacturing. The diverse requirements of various industries have led to many different AM processes and process variants. By using AM, advantages such as function integration, lightweight construction or increased efficiency can be enabled. But most of the known AM processes are still facing technological and economic challenges. Especially in applications requiring high accuracy for small parts, production has often been uneconomic until now. Here, the new Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing technology offers new possibilities and opportunities.
