Digital Engineering 247: AM’s Role in Future-Proofing the Supply Chain October 20, 2020November 16, 2020 | The Essentium Team Share One of the many non-human casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic is the global supply chain, which has been seriously upended as economies shut down and fluctuating demand brought logistics and manufacturing to a screeching halt. One bright spot in the manufacturing and supply chain upheaval is additive manufacturing, which is fast emerging as an alternative way to produce key components at a local site while keeping the flow of goods in motion and the factory floor cycle intact. Strategic use of AM, experts say, can help manufacturers significantly reduce costs and transportation time while mitigating supply chain risks today, in the midst of the pandemic, and in the future as things start to normalize. That was the topic of a recent virtual panel discussion, The Rise of Additive Manufacturing and Future-Proofing Global Supply Chains. Read More: Digital Engineering 247 Share

The Essentium Team February 18, 2021 3D Natives: Essentium Survey Shows That Investments in AM are Paying Off In early February, Essentium, Inc announced the results of the second in a series of findings from independent global research on the current and future use of industrial 3D printing. We previously covered the first survey published in 2019, which focused mainly on the slow adoption of additive manufacturing for mass-production. This new survey has shown significant advancements in that particular arena as well as significant benefits for users of industrial additive manufacturing while also highlighting remaining challenges to overcome, notably concerning the cost of 3D printing technologies and materials.
