      Additive Manufacturing: A Global Outlook

      As global manufacturing grapples with escalating trade tensions and the resurgence of protectionist policies, the additive manufacturing industry faces both unprecedented challenges and transformative opportunities. Recent tariff hikes have disrupted supply chains and increased production costs, prompting companies to re-evaluate their sourcing strategies and explore localised manufacturing solutions. In this complex landscape, the session will convene experts from various regions to share insights into how their local ecosystems are navigating these dynamics. Discussions will encompass regional advancements, policy responses, and the strategic integration of additive manufacturing to enhance resilience and competitiveness in the face of global economic shifts.​

      Agile & Distributed Manufacturing with AM

      In an era marked by geopolitical volatility, supply chain disruptions, and shifting consumer demands, agility has become a strategic imperative for manufacturers. The session will explore how additive manufacturing empowers decentralised production models to enhance responsiveness and resilience and enables organisations to adopt “glocalized” manufacturing strategies—producing on-demand closer to the point of need while adhering to quality standards. This session will feature real-world case studies and expert insights on how distributed manufacturing with additive manufacturing is reshaping supply chain strategies and future-proofing operations.
