AM is a rapidly moving technology in which all elements of the eco-system must be culturally attuned in order to achieve success. This must be a top-down approach, and adopting a culture of AM should be a priority for senior stakeholders. How to approach this challenge and then implement it will be a subject for discussion.

Panellists will discuss:

·        Where should culture feature on our list of priorities? How much success can we achieve individually or are collaborative, industry-wide initiatives the only ones that will ultimately prove successful?

·        What will be the consequences for specific parts of the supply chain? How can we ensure that certification is not slowed down?

·        What changes can we predict as we move towards digitised, industrialised AM?
