If you're unfamiliar with industrial additive manufacturing and want to learn more, what do you do? Well, you could ask Dennis Fogle, the co-founder and GM of Pivot AM Service. The Pella, Iowa, company offers a slew of 3D printing products and services--everything from maintaining AM equipment to selling used 3D printers and new parts washers to offering consulting services and hosting an online auction.

Fogle has more than 30 years' experience in AM (in 1988, he was hired as the first SLA-printer repair engineer), making him a good choice to explain what newcomers to 3D printing don't know and should know before adopting the technology.

The Additive Report focuses on the use of additive manufacturing technology in the real world of manufacturing. Today’s manufacturers are using 3D printing technology to create tools and fixtures, and some are even using AM for high-volume production work. Their stories will be covered here.
