From composite sculptures to metal watches, 3D printing is rapidly evolving – what are the limitations?
Creativity
Cost of materials is right now an issue. How can this be controlled?
By creating value add applications, material consumption increases which drives pricing down.
Skills is another major problem in this area, as in other emerging technologies. Time for a thorough overhaul of engineering education?
Government ran education systems have been failing for a long time already. By now youtube is far better resource for education than colleges
How could companies exploit the potential of Additive Manufacturing to gain an edge?
First by asking the right questions from the right people. No need to reinvent the wheel while there are plenty of good consultants who can help.
Experts believe additive manufacturing calls for new business models like leasing of printers and jobshops. Will this work?
All new technologies create new models and employment opportunities. Additive manufacturing is no different.
