Additive manufacturing has the potential to transform manufacturing supply chains - speeding processes and reducing costs. And its impact is seen across every industry, from aerospace to medical devices. Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked aspects of Additive Manufacturing is workforce development.
While the technology continues to evolve, there's a widening gap between these advanced solutions and the certified professionals to drive them. Across industries, there's a growing need for HIGHLY SKILLED additive manufacturing workers for key industry jobs.
This session explores the gap between additive manufacturing technology and the skilled workforce to drive it. Discussions highlight key requirements for education to keep pace with rapidly evolving manufacturing processes. We also introduce the Stratasys Additive Manufacturing Certification program and the advantages certification brings.
