3D Printing Leadership Forum: How to Fill Auto Manufacturing Supply Chain Gaps During Covid-19 and Beyond

June 16, 2020 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

The automotive industry has taken a big hit during Covid-19 with factory closures, supply chain disruptions and declining demand. How can automotive manufacturers build resilience into their supply chains, become more agile and overcome these challenges now and in the future?

Join us for a 45-minute virtual forum for an engaging discussion, including strategies and actionable takeaways, where we will discuss:

    • Building supply chain resilience into automotive manufacturing
    • How to be more agile and flexible in the face of unexpected supply chain disruptions
    • How industrial additive manufacturing can support the automotive industry, including by lightweighting parts e.g. XponentialWorks partnership with Arcimoto
    • Thinking beyond the pandemic – what are the risks to the supply chains down the line and how 3D printing can address these challenges and lower costs

The discussion will be followed by a live Q&A where the panelists will answer questions.
