Breaking Free of the Additive Manufacturing Echo Chamber

Dr. Gregory Hayes, senior vice president of Global Additive Minds at EOS, discusses moving past additive manufacturing roadblocks to achieve growth.

The additive manufacturing (AM) industry is an echo chamber – exacerbating its own hype, hindering collaboration, and stifling growth. Its path to more substantial and mainstream manufacturing opportunities is not paved with design ingenuity and futuristic ideation of traditional applications. It is paved with reliability, manufacturing redundancy, and supplemental manufacturing.
