Julia Hider and Stephanie Hendrixson address the phenomenon of additive manufacturers—those who apply 3D printing to make end-use parts and products—who invest in developing, building and producing their own 3D printing technology. Plus, how sustainable is 3D printing, and how can product creators adopt a circular economy mindset with this process?
