Roles and organizations are listed as they were at the time of each contribution and may have changed since. The contribution type identifies interviewees, expert contributors and guest authors.

Explore the perspectives of additive manufacturing experts

Our contributors discuss the choices that shape the use of 3D printing. These include materials, equipment, software and the steps needed to turn a design into a finished part. Some focus on research and new processes. Others share lessons from production, business development or specific industries.

Each perspective has a context. For that reason, the directory links profiles to published contributions. Read the full article to understand the project, the questions asked and the scope of the expert’s comments.
