Additive Manufacturing Assessment

Enhance your Additive Manufacturing journey with
the help of experts in the industry

EAC’s Additive Manufacturing Assessment is a comprehensive, expert-led evaluation designed to help organizations optimize their use of 3D printing technologies. Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale your AM operations, this assessment identifies where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there—efficiently and strategically.

Why It Matters

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is revolutionizing how companies prototype, produce, and innovate. But without a clear strategy and the right infrastructure, it’s easy to underutilize its potential. Our AM Assessment aligns your processes, people, and technology to ensure you’re positioned to succeed in this rapidly evolving field.

Meet the Experts

Our Additive Manufacturing Specialists are industry veterans with deep technical knowledge and hands-on experience. With backgrounds in engineering, design for AM, production, and quality control, they understand your unique challenges and tailor their recommendations to support real, measurable improvements.

What sets our team apart:

  • Deep expertise in polymer and metal AM technologies
  • Real-world experience in production and prototyping environments
  • Cross-industry insight from working with manufacturers of all sizes
  • A consultative, partnership-based approach to transformation

A Structured, Proven Process

1. Learn Phase: Discovery & Evaluation

We begin with a full discovery session to understand your current AM workflows, objectives, and pain points. This includes:

  • Pre-assessment surveys
  • On-site walkthroughs or virtual evaluations
  • Stakeholder interviews
  • Data and systems review

2. Show Phase: Insights & Roadmap

Next, we consolidate our findings and deliver a strategic, insight-driven roadmap:

  • Custom recommendations for improving efficiency, quality, and scalability
  • A prioritized action plan to guide AM adoption or enhancement
  • Key benchmarks and goals aligned with your business objectives

3. Grow Phase: Implementation & Support

Once your roadmap is in hand, we continue supporting your success:

  • Advisory services and hands-on guidance
  • Equipment recommendations and hardware sourcing
  • Material selection and process refinement
  • Staff training and certification

What You'll Gain

Our Additive Manufacturing Assessment delivers measurable results across multiple dimensions of your business:

  • Identify Efficiency Gaps: Discover bottlenecks and process inefficiencies that slow production.
  • Enhance Design for AM Strategies: Improve design performance while reducing waste and iteration cycles.
  • Strengthen Quality Control: Establish reliable, repeatable processes for consistent output.
  • Strategic Roadmap: Receive a clear, customized plan for scaling or improving AM usage.
  • Optimize Technology Utilization: Match the right tools, machines, and materials to your goals.
  • Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Understand ROI opportunities and reduce unnecessary spend.
  • Training & Skill Development: Upskill your team to unlock AM’s full potential.
  • Risk Mitigation Strategies: Address compliance, downtime, and technical risks before they impact production.
