Manufacturing Journalist TR Cutler Looks at How 3D Printing Significantly Mitigates Supply Chain Disruptions

According to manufacturing journalist TR Cutler, “The pandemic reshaped manufacturing and 3D printing is significantly mitigating supply chain disruptions. Since the onset of COVID-19, the manufacturing industry has seen a significant transformation, leading many companies to incorporate additive manufacturing into their processes to bring production in-house and avoid delays.  3D printing enables supply chains to localize manufacturing and eliminate areas of the process that can be easily disrupted, reducing lead times, cutting costs, and improving customization. 3D printing is a bridge manufacturing method to pivot 3D printers as a methodology to rapidly produce personal protective equipment (PPE) and COVID-19 test swabs, which proved instrumental in mitigating supply shortages caused by the pandemic.” 

Cutler sees such rapid shifts as one of the top 2021 manufacturing trends.
