The bright future of additive manufacturing creates a tectonic shift in the manufacturing industry. This innovative process, which builds 3D objects layer-by-layer from a digital model, redefines how products are designed and produced and are poised to transform the very structure of industries.The stakes are high; in a recent announcement, Siemens confirmed plans to invest 2.2 billion euros into ramping up their global additive manufacturing capacities. As such, the critical question now is how companies can embrace the future of additive manufacturing as a crucial component and how they can foster the talent and skills needed to navigate this brave new world.
