2- Why Additive Manufacturers Build 3D Printers, and Sustainability in AM

Sep 13, 2021

Julia Hider and Stephanie Hendrixson address the phenomenon of additive manufacturers—those who apply 3D printing to make end-use parts and products—who invest in developing, building and producing their own 3D printing technology. Plus, how sustainable is 3D printing, and how can product creators adopt a circular economy mindset with this process?
