Summary
Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM), started out with small 3D printing projects such as printing tools, fasteners and components of large machines, and more. BAAM now is printing parts for the aerospace industry, and even 3D printed a life-size Shelby Cobra, using advanced laser sintering techniques, for higher accuracy, at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2015.
