Description
Europe's metal additive manufacturing sector has spent a decade proving what's technically possible. The harder question now is what's commercially viable — and that question is reshaping the industry faster than any new alloy or machine architecture.
Drawing on 18 years in the AM sector, insight into 3,000+ scouted startups, and direct involvement in 40+ financing rounds on both the investor and operator side, this talk traces the path from prototype to profit across Europe's Metal AM landscape: which technologies have crossed from R&D into repeatable production, which business models are converting capital into revenue rather than burning through it, and where genuine economic traction is emerging versus where the narrative has outrun the numbers.
The talk closes with a forward view on where European players are best positioned to compete globally, particularly in high-value applications and what it will take to convert technical leadership into commercial leadership.
