Presentation Abstract

Additive manufacturing organizations typically design their operations with lean infrastructure in mind. They weave their AM workflows with spreadsheets, siloed systems and tribal knowledge to bring parts to market. As demand grows, disparate systems can limit their ability to scale, due to the increasing amounts of data that is generated and tracked. To develop ways to store, trace and preserve data across the entire value chain, additive manufacturing organizations often look to Digital Transformation for connecting the Digital Thread and driving operational excellence.

Join Postnord, Carpenter Additive, Wabtec and 3D Metal Forge on Link3D’s user panel led by Jim Carlson, EVP of Customer Operations to learn why they’ve chosen to pursue digitalization as a way to de-risk their supply chain and enable distributed manufacturing. Learn why industry leading OEMs and Service Bureaus believe additive manufacturing is different from traditional manufacturing, and the paths one might consider to modernize their 3D printing operations and gain the promised benefits of Industry 4.0.
