• Additive manufacturing is entering the most consequential period in its evolution. • After years of experimentation and uneven adoption, the industry is showing renewed momentum, shaped by supply-chain pressures, and a digital foundation that continues to mature. • While progress has not been linear, innovation across technologies, materials, and workflows is reactivating interest in how additive manufacturing can be applied at industrial scale. • This transition reflects a broader realignment in how manufacturers design, produce, and scale parts. • As expectations rise, technology providers are being challenged to demonstrate that additive manufacturing can deliver reliable, repeatable, and economically viable outcomes within real production environments - not just in isolated use cases. • HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions (HP AM) has been working against a clear roadmap to address the barriers that have historically limited adoption, from cost efficiency and scalability to materials performance and integration with existing manufacturing systems.
