« Shifting mindsets »
We’ve reached that time again… The end of the year is upon us and as usual, we reflect on what it means for the AM industry. In this last edition of 3D ADEPT Mag for 2023, we can’t help but see how our mindsets are changing. For a long time, we have been focusing on demonstrating the advantages of AM across industries. Today, demonstrating it is not enough. As corporate leaders spend much of their time seeking the right strategies to grow and adapt to changing conditions, it is crucial to assess the different ways of thinking about our industry’s problems.

Guest column | Lack of female engineers: why are we still having the conversation?
With reports of only 18% of women in engineering roles in Germany, just under 9% in the US and around 16% in the UK, the question repeatedly being asked is whether the industry is doing enough to encourage females into the engineering profession? With an ongoing skills gap in the sector, there is still a sentiment that an increased effort needs to be made to attract women into the engineering field – and retain them.
