For years, industry experts have been skeptical if 3D printing would ever reach its true potential. It grew in popularity, with the latest car, shoe, or other flashy consumer product hitting top news outlets. But beyond the hype, it was revolutionizing manufacturing processes, changing the way products are designed and built.

It’s true the coronavirus pandemic snapped the global supply chain – that’s no question – but it also has illuminated opportunities, new and existing, to strengthen what once was. Because of what’s transpired, supply chain security has never been more critical to success.

Part one of this series discussed the many additive manufacturing providers and machines that make 3D printing applications possible. It also examined how the Essentium HSE 3D Printing Platform provides speed and precision advantages over other additive manufacturing solutions. The second part of this series will look at how the dependability and reliability of the […]

No one could have predicted the impact that 2020 would have on the manufacturing industry.

There are many types of 3D printers available today made by providers all over the world, from small hobby and classroom devices to large production-grade machines.
