Surging demand, lagging supply, and an ongoing labor shortage are constricting the flow of physical goods. Manufacturers must invest in self-reliant means of production to reduce dependence on faltering global supply chains and outsource manufacturing.
Surging demand, lagging supply, and an ongoing labor shortage are constricting the flow of physical goods around the world. From cars to construction materials, prices are skyrocketing while availability grows less certain with each passing day. How do we protect ourselves against price movements and manufacturing risks dominated by global forces outside of our control?
Manufacturers must invest in self-reliant means of production to reduce dependence on faltering global supply chains and outsource manufacturing.
In this webinar, Markforged Application Engineer Charles Lu will:
- compare centralized and distributed manufacturing models,
- provide examples of how Markforged customers are combatting the Everything Shortage with 3D printers, and
- present a vision for how manufacturers can lessen reliance on global supply chains through decentralizing manufacturing.
