Additive manufacturing/3D-printing is changing the face of medicine as engineers and physicians are able to develop adaptive devices that are fully customized to the wearer. These devices often serve as assistive devices or tools for unique activities such as sports, hobbies or professions that the wearer is engaged in.
Additive manufacturing/3D printing is changing the way things are made. From the rapid prototyping lab all the way to the manufacturing floor. Companies in the automotive, aerospace and consumer goods industries are leaning into an era of Industry 4.0, a technological playing field where additive augments other technologies like robotics to provide higher throughput.
