Learn How AM Experts Use to Address Supply Chain Concerns
Additive manufacturing is increasingly considered a complementary solution to address supply chain challenges.
Some companies use 3D printing to produce massive orders of simple, easy-to-duplicate parts that can be manufactured closer to home and with fewer logistics bottlenecks.
Others use 3D printing to reduce procurement lead time for complex, low-volume production parts needed to sustain equipment.
In this episode, experts on both sides of the additive manufacturing equation discuss the industry's need to facilitate new operator-supplier relationships.
- Spencer Loveless, CEO of Merit3D, showcases how mass production 3D printing can rival injection molding.
- Eric Davidson, Chevron's Lead Materials and Corrosion Engineer, explains which technologies Chevron uses to re-engineer sustainment spare parts in-house.
