Manufacturing has been highlighted as one of the key enablers for sustainable economic growth, creating competitiveness and long-term jobs. As an advanced manufacturing technology, AM has been identified as a key priority for manufacturing.
This is because AM, often referred to with the more specific term 3D-printing, is an innovative technology with the potential to transform the global manufacturing industry and European economies.
AM could disrupt the manufacturing value chain, allowing a shift from mass production to full customisation. This is why it is essential that this technology is welcomed and developed in a positive light in order to keep the European economy at the forefront of innovation.
