SMART MANUFACTURING “ All of this customisation is guiding the industry towards additive manufacturing as the solution to be applied because you don ' t need millions of parts to enhance the production floor ”
ANDREAS LANGFELD PRESIDENT EMEA , STRATASYS
“ And then over time , it went into additional applications and use cases like tooling , jigs , and fixtures , where it ' s not just prototypes anymore , it ' s tools or parts that are enhancing the production workflow . Now we are producing parts additively on demand , instead of holding spare parts in inventory . So when a part is breaking , organisations have a catalogue of available spare parts that they order , and then it ' s printed overnight , or depending on the size , over one to two days . At Stratasys , we have added different technologies to our portfolio in order to make sure that we have the right solution in every step of the product development life cycle ,
