Increasing the performance and reliability of components is an excellent way to advance the overall efficiency of a system. Additive manufacturing (AM) creates opportunities to deliver measurable improvements. For example, using AM to optimize fluid manifolds can drastically reduce weight.  In transportation applications these advancements translate to improved performance and reliability.

AM fluid manifolds resolve the issues of traditionally manufactured manifolds by removing assembly operations, taking out excess weight, enabling the production of more organic shapes, and more. This application brief discusses how additive manufacturing can be used to bring better performance to manifolds, along with a clear explanation of the AM workflow and best practices.
