The job of a researcher is to keep reinventing and continue to ask “what’s next?” For Richard Hague, Professor of Additive Manufacturing and Director of the Centre for Additive Manufacturing (CfAM) at the University of Nottingham, that question has been at the core of numerous projects undertaken at the Centre over the last decade where the ‘what’ is poised to be multi-material, functional additive manufacturing (AM).

On this week's Additive Insight podcast, Hague joins us to talk about the opportunities for multi-material, multifunctional additive manufacturing, the challenges around turning research into industrial applications, and the UK's position as an AM research superpower.
