13 AM is not a mature technology Detected trends on the AM Value chain

14 Local manufacturing, close to end markets leads to higher responsiveness è ICT infrastructure 14

15 Shorter supply chains 15

16 Redistribution of manufacturing Insource in high-wage countries è Growth by new cases and educated/trained population 16

17 AM is not a mature technology Detected trends on the AM Value chain

18 Process Process Production Speed A factor faster (volume/time) Capability & Robustness 100% reliable production Integrated Process Chains Hybrid production Large scale serial production Part size Build chamber volume up to 2m 3 Resource Efficiency material reuse energy consumption 18

29 Conclusions: 1. Prepare your ICT infrastructure for the digitalization and the need for high volumes of data transmitted. 2. Prepare the population to face the challenges of this new technology by investing in cultural, educational and training programs in line with the new job profiles. 3. Stimulate creativity and research to reach full potential of AM. 4. Additional scientific research is needed on AM process, machine and material level to reach a mature level a. Mature and competitive material markets b. Open and flexible machine concepts 5. Take care of the regulatory aspects: normalization, IP, health and insurances, environmental 6. Continue research on the full impact of this technology with all the stakeholders benjamin.denayer@sirris.be 29
