This brought AM serial production of component manufacture in-house, shortened its supply chain and lowered its environmental impact. Production costs down 30% AM serial production has made component production faster by reducing the supply chain, person-hours involved, and eliminating retooling delays.

3D printing dates back to the early 1980s in Japan, when Hideo Kodama developed a rapid prototyping system, an early version of the stereolithography (SLA) machine. Now 3D printing is helping many companies transform their business models to become more efficient and agile as well as handle supply chain disruptions.

Furthermore, thanks to rapid prototyping, by running the design in an operational context, errors in the prototype can be detected early. Having a virtual twin of the supply chain allows to model its behavior and makes predictions possible according to market behavior and / or associated risks.
