Additive Manufacturing: A Work in Progress
An emerging technology with great promise, 3D printing or additive manufacturing has come
of age but is still a work in progress.
The fact that 3D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging technology with
disruptive potential is not in dispute. For a technology that was invented in the early 1980s, it
took nearly three decades to capture the popular imagination. Confined earlier to rapid
prototyping, development of fast printers and newer materials, including metal substrates and
above all, digital technologies facilitating collaborative design has brought it to centre stage
now. But a work in progress it essentially is, with several limitations preventing its blooming
into a disruptive force in manufacturing, yet many positives as evident from the responses to
this roundtable.
