Additive Manufacture: Beyond the Hype

An IET Lecture - Inspire, Inform, Influence

Additive Manufacture: Beyond the Hype Professor Iain Todd, Professor of Metallurgy, University of Sheffield

3D printing/additive manufacture has caught the imagination of the public, politicians and industrialists leading to claims about what the future will bring us - printed body parts, houses, electronics and redistributed manufacture, all of which sound like ‘hype’.

In an IET organised lecture, these claims will be examined in detail as will the potential for the technology to disrupt present manufacturing practices and perhaps yield new possibilities for manufacturers and perhaps society as a whole.
