Show Notes

Additive Manufacturing has been predominantly closed away in Research and Development departments for some time. But, as timely, justified additive manufacturing solutions emerge it is time for many companies to move from prototype to production. The chain of processes leaders implement now will affect the future use of industrial 3D printing within an organization.
 
In this episode, Chief Digital Officer of the medical and mobility powerhouse, Ottobock, Güngör Kara shares key insights about team building, implementing additive manufacturing, how organizations can create radical innovations, and the greatest challenges leaders face when moving additive manufacturing from prototype to production phase. 

Key Takeaways:
 
[1:05] Three key learnings of additive manufacturing implementation.
 
[4:02] Creating an additive manufacturing team must also include the problem and solution teams.
 
[6:58] The initial rapid prototyping phase requires C-level attention and support.
 
[9:13] The greatest challenges of moving additive manufacturing out of prototyping and into production.
 
[12:37] Leaders must push the limits of their team to create radical innovation.
 
[18:05] The two dimensions of scaling from one product to multiple products.
