    Scaling Additive Manufacturing — Special IMTS Edition

    Fabian Alefeld interviews John Wilczynski, Executive Director of America Makes, about the current state and future scaling of additive manufacturing (AM) at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS). Wilczynski explains that while AM technology is mature, the primary challenge is distributing this knowledge to traditional manufacturers and building the necessary workforce and supply chain ecosystems. He highlights that demand signals remain difficult to calculate, making it hard for business owners to justify initial investments in equipment. The conversation emphasizes that additive manufacturing is not a standalone replacement but a component of a broader manufacturing value chain that must be integrated with conventional processes.
