3D Adept are proud to be partnering with Smart Manufacturing for Aerospace & Defense on 29 October 2024 in Chicago, IL, USA.

The aerospace and defense industry faces soaring demand and stringent quality standards, leading to capacity constraints from limited factory space, supply chain issues, and workforce shortages. Adopting Industry 4.0 technologies like IIoT, AI, digital twins, robotics, and additive manufacturing is crucial for optimizing production processes, enhancing quality control, and improving supply chain resilience.

However, complex certification processes, skill gaps, and fragmented digital infrastructures and data silos hinder the widespread adoption of these disruptive technologies across the aerospace product lifecycle, slowing scalable digital transformation initiatives.

To help these operators overcome their rising industry 4.0 challenges, 3D Adept will be providing insights to attendees and expert speakers from aerospace & defense organizations and aid them in advancing their smart factory roadmap.
