Description
Europe has a strong research and industrial base in additive manufacturing, but it is scaling up much more slowly than its global competitors. The main challenge is not a lack of innovation, but a lack of implementation. From the perspective of AMDefNet, this keynote argues that Europe must move from demonstration projects to real industrial capability. This can be achieved through structured qualification processes for existing systems, a strategically supported right to repair, and resilient, local supply chains. The keynote calls for a European strategy for additive manufacturing that covers all areas of application, from defense to civilian industry, and helps create a true single market through harmonized standards and active public procurement.
