Our focus within the additive manufacturing (AM) industry often centers on the 3D printer itself, but it’s important to remember that it’s just one element in a complex sequence of processes. This toolchain, which transforms our ideas into tangible parts, includes authoring software, nesting tools, 3D scanning, topology optimization, post-processing, and other finishing steps. While the shape of a part may be formed within the machine, its actual creation occurs outside of it. To gain insights into the future of 3D printing, we’ve consulted leading experts to forecast major trends for an exciting 2024.

Stefan Ritt, a long-time AM veteran, foresees the rise of Asian manufacturers significantly impacting the market. He envisions the defense sector as a major user of...
