SDC: Additive Manufacturing Will Change Procurement as You Know It April 29, 2020April 29, 2020 | The Essentium Team Share Every manufacturer can benefit from more efficient procurement and shorter production cycles. That’s why a growing number of manufacturers are now taking a serious look at additive manufacturing. While manufacturing is widely outsourced due to manpower costs, additive manufacturing is turning current manufacturing processes upside down. It is driving localized production and transforming logistics and supply chains. Additive manufacturing will lead to a more sustainable future, where more consumer items are produced locally and fewer of our everyday goods are shipped across the globe. That’s a game-changer for procurement. Read more: SDC Share

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?
