4D enables unprecedented possibility to exploit the potential of AM techniques: the same certified process may be used in different places / phases of product life cycle: for initial production, for defective parts inspection/recovery, for in situ repairing operations.
4D will demonstrate the effective application to aerospace, oil & gas, and power generation equipment. The concept can be further exploited in automotive, railway, ship building with a huge potential in the global market.
