The next generation of industrialization is reliant on generative design, the digitization of assets, and real time data that enables predictive maintenance and on demand manufacturing. Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is one of the key pieces to the Industry 4.0 puzzle and will play a major role for many manufacturers that wish to be relevant for the next decade. COVID-19 highlighted significant weaknesses in the supply chain and is forcing many OEM’s to reconsider the way they design, manufacture and ship products. With a global interest to become better environmental stewards and a rededicated focus to agile manufacturing, 3D printing will be the solution – enabling industrial equipment manufacturers to keep equipment operational with on-demand spare part printing and ditching overhead costs, such as warehousing. Or becoming more self-reliant and local by adopting additive manufacturing in strategically located facilities across the globe to serve customers quicker and much more cost effectively. This panel will include adoption examples from major industries such as the automotive, industrial, aerospace and defense industries, while discussing how the integration of such technologies will impact the future of product development and manufacturing.

Join additive manufacturing marketing expert, Ryan Hayford, as he shares his experiences on how additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is a key element to the Industry 4.0 puzzle. For anyone interested in Supply Chain, Additive Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, Agile Manufacturing, Digital Warehouse or Industrial Applications, this will be a chance to hear advice from a real expert in the field.
