Additive Manufacturing (AM) has evolved from a prototyping technology to a manufacturing process in the industry. Through its integration into the design, production processes, and process chains, the AM technology affects the entire supply chain – from the initial CAD design, through material delivery to the production site and post-processing, to delivery to the customer. The use of Additive Manufacturing is changing the flow of data as well as the parts and materials used.

Our speakers Jesse Boyer, Fellow Additive Manufacturing at Pratt & Whitney/Raytheon Technologies, and Henricus Engelmann, Aerospace Business Development Manager at Materialise demonstrated what this looks like and what challenges, potentials, and success stories are associated with it at ‘Online ZAL Discourse: Additive Manufacturing & Supply Chains’ on March 24.
