Overview

The State of Metal Additive Manufacturing
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) has been moving from the lab to the shop, but not without friction. This talk explores which metal AM technologies are delivering in production today, and where challenges like cost, throughput, and post-processing are still blocking adoption. We'll cut through the hype to highlight real use cases, smart deployment strategies, and what it takes to make metal AM work in a production environment. With reshoring and supply chain resilience top of mind, now is the time to separate promise from production reality.
