9:45 AM Keynote: Accelerating Additive: How AI Is Powering the Next Leap in 3D Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is no longer just a prototyping tool—it’s a strategic lever for agility, customization, and supply chain resilience. But to scale its impact, manufacturers are turning to artificial intelligence. In this forward-looking session, discover how AI is unlocking new levels of performance in additive manufacturing by:
  • Automating design optimization and generative modeling
  • Predicting material behavior and print outcomes with precision
  • Enhancing quality control through real-time monitoring and defect detection
  • Streamlining workflows from CAD to production with intelligent orchestration
Whether you're exploring AM for the first time or scaling across global operations, this session will equip you with the strategic vision and practical tools to lead the transformation
