McKinsey report outlines the current state of additive manufacturing and points the way for it to go mainstream in manufacturing

Posted on by eu@aeip.llc Eldar

The McKinsey report by Jörg Bromberger, et. al. entitled, “The mainstreaming of additive manufacturing,” outlines the limitations that existed in thermoplastic additive manufacturing that were preventing the technology from taking a center stage position in modern industry. These exact points and more have already been addressed in AEIP’s Versatile Thermoplastics Particle Manufacturing (VTPM) and can be considered solved.
