Sustainability through innovation: How additive manufacturing is paving the way for a circular economy
In Michele Cianni's presentation, learn how sustainable production is already a reality today. With an exciting insight into the case study of sustainable furniture manufacturer Model No. from the USA.
How does additive manufacturing (AM) contribute to the sustainable transformation of industry? Discover how AM enables a greener future through on-demand production, material efficiency, and the use of bio-based materials.
A special highlight is the Model No. case study: The US furniture manufacturer produces entirely digitally, locally, and without surplus. Thanks to pellet extrusion with the EXT Titan from 3D Systems, bio-based or recycled materials are processed efficiently. The result: production that conserves resources, reduces costs, and enables true sustainability.
But sustainable production also requires innovation: energy sources, material availability, and scalable designs remain challenges. One thing is clear, however—the technology is ready. Let's work together to create sustainable solutions!
