The hype around 3D printing has been increasing exponentially over the

past couple of years, many times with little to no backing in the real world

of those who use the technology every day. There is no doubt as to the

potential of additive manufacturing and recent projections estimate the

market to quadruple in 2025. Nevertheless, end users are still struggling

with critical issues.

From a technical perspective, additive manufacturing has reached a

tipping point where the technology is maturing but big changes are

expected to happen any moment. As end users are trying to take additive

manufacturing one step further and apply it to production, they need to

know how to reduce costs while improving quality, as well as to identify

the right applications for the technology.

In order to do so, it is essential to learn about equipment and material

costs, performance, volume and customization capabilities. Furthermore,

end users are being faced with new design and software rules and

limitations, intellectual property issues and the difficulties associated with

business case justifications. First movers will reap the benefits of the

technology – and these benefits have the potential to be game changing for

the businesses they disrupt.

The Additive Manufacturing Production Application Initiative 2014

(AMPA14) is set to make a difference in the adoption or expansion of

additive manufacturing as a cost-effective production process. The

industry needs realistic approaches to these issues, as well as opportunities

to establish real dialogue across the value chain. Enough has been said

about what could or should happen – now it’s time to make it happen.

“Thank you so much for organizing such a fabulous event. I think everyone had a good time and no one will have walked out of there without a nugget of information that they will not act upon, and therefore make a change for the better.”

Intellectual Property Manager GKN Aerospace

“A great opportunity to learn from the experience of additive manufacturing pioneers on various industry segments. Also good insights on the state of the art research about technologies and material development.”

Innovation Manager Volvo

“Good all around, very open discussion with various presenters. Broad representation of the industry. Will definitely come next year!”

Senior Material Engineer Bentley Motors

The “food replicator” we saw in Star Trek might be less sci-fi than you think, thanks to Anjan Contractor. His work for NASA, which aims at finding solutions for food preservation in long missions to space, already produced extraordinary results, such as a 3D printed pizza. Could this be a way to end world hunger?
