Additive manufacturing, like metal 3D printing, is revolutionizing the mechanical industry. Do you think it will eventually replace traditional processes like machining and casting?

Great question, Matheus! I think 3D printing will become more common for prototyping and custom parts, but it’s unlikely to completely replace traditional methods. Material strength is still a major challenge.

I agree, Liam! But with advancements in composite materials and new metal alloys, 3D printing might achieve the durability needed. Maybe we’ll see a hybrid approach in the future!
