Additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3-D printing, seems like something straight out of our favorite science fiction movies. It is an extraordinary invention that will turn traditional manufacturing on its head. This revolutionary printing technology repeatedly adds layers on itself to build three-dimensional products, hence the name additive manufacturing. It allows for personalization and creates less waste.
Using 3-D printers can help supply chains save time and money while also helping the environment by “near-sourcing”, or printing locally. While it is a fairly unknown and scarcely used disruptive technology, it has vast potential within the logistics industry.
