Webinar: Building the Future: Assessing 3D Printing’s Opportunities and Challenges

From personalized medicine to personal drones, 3D printing – the additive fabrication of objects by depositing and patterning successive layers of material – has been touted as an enabling platform for applications ranging from the universally desirable to the inevitably controversial. Among all the hype, the true impact of 3D printing is uncertain: Some believe the technology will eventually be more disruptive than the Internet and printing press combined, while others consider its impact to go little beyond hobbyists and artists with too much free time. Regardless, 3D printing is clearly a compelling technology area, and comes with a palette of tools that have potential to influence everything from making incrementally cheaper prototype parts to revolutionizing the entire framework of the manufacturing industry as we know it. This webinar will:

• Analyze the forecasted market opportunity for material suppliers, printer developers, and OEMs across the 3D printing value chain
• Assess the space’s key established and top emerging players
• Explore the interplay between challenges and opportunities, and examine the potential for 3D printing to reshape the entire manufacturing landscape and enable novel business models
