How 3D Printing Is Transforming Mass Manufacturing

Once thought of as a method to make trinkets, 3D printing is increasingly being used in mass manufacturing to make production cheaper, better, stronger and faster. In his new book, The Pan-Industrial Revolution: How New Manufacturing Titans Will Transform the World, Dartmouth professor Richard D’Aveni explains how 3D printing could have a ripple effect across the global economy, even weakening China’s position as a rising superpower. D’Aveni joined the Knowledge@Wharton Radio Show on Sirius XM to talk about the future of additive manufacturing.
