Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has moved well beyond prototyping. Today, it is a production-ready capability enabling flight-certified, lightweight components for some of the most demanding aerospace applications. The shift is not incremental—it’s structural. Engineers and procurement leaders are now leveraging AM not just for design
