While adoption of latest technologies such as the IoT, big data and AI as part of Industry 4.0 process is helping companies make substantial improvements in productivity and automation, one area that still requires a great deal of attention is the manufacturing process itself as companies are still needed to mold, mill, bend and stamp raw materials in their factories.Â
With the priorities shifting to achieve greater sustainability, adaptability, supply chain resiliency, 3D Printing that is synonymous with additive manufacturing has emerged as a critical tool that can potentially transform the manufacturing processes by offering greater freedom to design, accelerating product development and reducing time to market.
The automotive industry has been at the forefront of adopting 3D printing technology in manufacturing for various applications, including prototyping of parts, tooling and fixtures, producing low volume, customised and personalised parts. Other industries are also following the suit.
We explore how 3D Printing or additive manufacturing is disrupting the manufacturing sector by focusing on the following points:
• How additive manufacturing is allowing a paradigm shift in design, manufacturing and distribution.
• Is industrialised additive manufacturing a hype – how adoption for mass production could be done?
• How to leverage on additive manufacturing networks to ramp up production amid supply chain disruption due to the pandemic?
• Advantage of using 3D Printing for low-volume production and mass customisation of industrial-grade parts.
• Role of other technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning in increasing adoption of additive manufacturing.
• How can companies integrate additive manufacturing into their existing digital space?
• Is additive manufacturing going to be a top technology priority for investment post-COVID?
• Additive Manufacturing – Is ROI worth the effort?
