Complexity is not for free: the impact of component complexity on additive manufacturing build time

‘Complexity for free’ has often been claimed as one of the main advantages of additive manufacturing. Several authors have promoted the idea that additive manufacturing allows the fabrication of complex geometries without any increase in the cost of production. Many examples have proven how additive...
