Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) provides solutions, but how much hard work is required to have those solutions—there comes a moment when creativity flows and solutions come with ease, the chapter enlists some of those moments.

AM makes complex products, therefore expectation from AM is high. AM cannot be improved overnight to fulfill the expectation—what can be the right strategy to maximize its efficacy. The chapter relies on a substrate and a combination of AM systems to ease the burden. Support structure is the side product of AM, its concept is given.

Answers of three questions related to creativity, support structure, and product fabrication strategy are given.
