Metal additive manufacturing: Trends and challenges

The use of metal-based 3D printing is revolutionizing industries by enabling the production of complex, high-performance components. Its adoption is increasing in aerospace, health care, and energy sectors, where it’s valued for its ability to reduce lead times, minimize material waste, and offer unparalleled design flexibility. However, challenges such as high production costs and limited scalability for mass manufacturing still hinder broader adoption. Kai Narita, CEO of additive manufacturing startup 3D Architech, will discuss startup-driven solutions that are emerging to address these barriers and unlock the full potential of metal additive manufacturing in the coming years.
