Our project aims to compare the practicality and efficiency of additive manufacturing versus traditional manufacturing in select industries. Our report mainly focuses on the electronic and automotive manufacturing industries and includes a techno-economic assessment for each. These analyses are separated into two case studies. Our first case study is of printed circuit boards and our second is Porsche pistons. Each study focuses on a chosen part in one of the two industries, and includes life cycle analyses and cost analyses for both manufacturing methods during their typical operation. Our project aims to provide insight to both manufacturers and consumers by assessing and comparing both types of manufacturing.
