Ongoing supply chain challenges continue to impact lead times, costs, and operational resilience across industries. In this session, Chris Andrews explores how organisations are leveraging Stratasys industrial 3D printing to shift from traditional, stock heavy models to agile, on-demand manufacturing. Drawing on real-world applications, he will demonstrate how additive manufacturing can reduce dependency on overseas suppliers, minimise inventory, and enable faster response to changing demand without compromising on quality or performance.

Key Takeaways (for attendees):
•  How on-demand manufacturing reduces lead times and inventory costs
•  Where 3D printing fits into existing supply chains
•  Real examples of tooling, spares, and end-use parts produced additively
•  Practical steps to start implementing additive manufacturing today
