Updated

Additive manufacturing in Consumer Goods is the use of additive manufacturing to produce or prototype consumer products: eyewear, footwear midsoles, helmets, audio devices, kitchenware, and personalized accessories.

Why AM fits Consumer Goods: Consumer goods adopt AM where mass-customization or complex geometry creates a perceptible product benefit (Adidas Futurecraft 4D midsoles, Riddell Diamond football helmets, custom hearing aids; the last being the largest mass-customized AM application). The economic case requires high product margin to offset per-part AM cost relative to injection molding.

Common AM processes: VPP-DLP (Carbon CDLP, Origin), MJF, SLS, MEX for prototyping. Typical materials: TPU (lattice midsoles), photopolymers, PA12, PA11, EPU 40/41.
