Webinar details
Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) is no longer a future technology; it is a competitive advantage being actively leveraged across aerospace, medical, mining, energy, and advanced manufacturing sectors. Yet many organisations still overlook its potential or consider it unsuitable for real production.
In this webinar, we explore what manufacturers are missing by not integrating metal additive manufacturing into their production strategy. The session will highlight practical advantages such as design freedom, part consolidation, performance optimisation, reduced lead times, and supply-chain resilience. Real-world examples will demonstrate where metal AM delivers clear technical and commercial value, and where it may not.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of how metal AM complements conventional manufacturing, common misconceptions that prevent adoption, and key considerations for evaluating its feasibility in an industrial environment. This webinar is ideal for engineers, technical managers, and decision-makers seeking to future-proof their manufacturing processes and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.
- The webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.

- Please note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.
Key takeaways from this webinar
- Metal AM complements traditional manufacturingy
- Ignoring metal AM creates hidden costs
- Assessing part suitability, requirements, and ROI is essential before investing in metal AM
