This evolution has redefined production processes, enabling the creation of complex geometries,
reducing waste, accelerating prototyping, and facilitating customised manufacturing. While initially viewed as a
prototyping tool, AM has now transitioned into a production technology, demanding unprecedented levels of
precision and repeatability.

Advanced motion control
At the heart of this transition lies
the critical role of advanced motion control systems.
