The Additive Manufacturing Transformation in a Rapidly Changing Industry Landscape: Empowering Manufacturing with 3D Printing
【Abstract】
1. AM industry is facing headwinds and is currently undergoing a phase of rapid change with trend towards increased consolidation predominantly centered around a few equipment providers
2. AM advancements: Manufacturing companies can now build on the technology to create parts for serial manufacturing. However, the promise of additive manufacturing will only materialize if we focus on the value, that it can bring to the users of the technology
3. Presentation will reflect on the transformatory challenges of the shift from prototyping to manufacturing 3D printing use cases and how to master this transition to the benefit of operations. The future of 3D printing will be driven by manufacturing applications
4. Presentation will discuss a case study on how an electrical components company on how to identify the right parts
