Additive Appliances aims at challenging the coffee machines' status quo by leveraging AM at different stages of product development, including final parts production. The blend of AM and conventional manufacturing makes it possible to control temperature and pressure through embedded, conformal, high-efficiency – yet ultra-compact – heat exchangers. The use of AM can also enable functional personalization (e.g., small batches can be engineered to exalt specialty coffee varieties); furthermore, AM can reduce the overall number of components needed, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the equipment’s lifecycle from production to disposal.
