I sometimes find myself more intrigued by the notion of “know-why” than “know-how.” As a believer in the burgeoning role of additive manufacturing (AM) in future production, I’ve spent time exploring ‘how’—how to streamline AM processes, how to seamlessly integrate AM into existing systems, and how to drive groundbreaking innovations of AM, etc. Yet, amid this maze of technicalities, a fundamental question has increasingly captured my attention: “Why should AM be an integral part of the future of manufacturing?”

In this article, we will examine the intrinsic relationship between advancing technologies and evolving human needs, while investigating the rise of 3D printing within the context of Industry 4.0.
