Industry Arena: Manufacturers Demand Open Systems January 10, 2020July 9, 2020 | The Essentium Team Share Additive manufacturing on an industrial scale creates opportunities for sales growth. Open ecosystems are a key to manufacturer selection and flexibility. Essentium has announced results from an independent global study of the current and future uses of industrial 3D printing. The study shows that virtually all (99 percent) manufacturing executives surveyed estimate that an open ecosystem is important to driving large-scale 3D printing. While 85 percent of manufacturers reported that additive manufacturing on an industrial scale has the potential to increase their company’s revenue, 22 percent said that their commitment to 3D printing would have led to vendor engagement that restricted flexibility.

The Essentium Team October 6, 2020 Fabbaloo: 3D Printing For Toolmaking: What You Need To Know One of the biggest positives of 3D printing is that no tooling is required — but it might just be perfect for making parts including jigs, fixtures, end-use parts, and even tooling. While additive manufacturing is coming into play for end-use parts and serial production, these types of parts remain largely the purview of traditional manufacturing technologies. Read More
The Essentium Team October 5, 2020 3D Printing Media Network: The Rise of Additive Manufacturing and Future-Proofing Global Supply Chains In recent months long-established supply chains have faltered leading to delays in shipments, idle assembly lines and furloughed workers. With broad-scale interruptions likely to become increasingly common – how can manufacturers deploy 3D printing as a strategic addition to a supply chain strategy to help mitigate disruption?
