The power of partnerships

摘要

The additive manufacturing (AM) industry has always been a fairly close-knit community. While there are rivalries among key players, when it comes to advancing the technology and what it can offer, there has always been healthy collaboration. Research institutions and industry experts are well aware of the limitations and opportunities of additive and regularly come together, working across universities, businesses and borders to improve and advance technology.A good example of collaborative working can be found in the materials arena, where we are seeing a lot of organisations work together to research and develop new materials, and to enhance the performance of others.
