Additive manufacturing has the ability to remove many of the supply chain bottlenecks faced by companies in the energy industry. However, there is still some hesitancy towards fully embracing it as part of their go-to solutions. This is because the early adopters have not yet unlocked its full potential when combined with other tools such as design and simulation tools.

I’m your host, Ashley Eckhoff, and I’m joined by John Nixon of Siemens Digital Industries Software and John Lusty, the Industry Lead for Energy & Utilities Industry Marketing at Siemens Digital Industries Software. They’ll share with us the current state of additive manufacturing in the energy industry.

In this episode, you’ll learn about the challenges that have slowed down the adoption of additive manufacturing in the energy industry. You’ll also learn about the role that simulation and automation are playing as the industry continues to digitalize. Additionally, you’ll learn about what has prompted increased digitalization within the industry in the last five years.
