Global supply chains are under pressure. Lead times have stretched, supply is constrained, and the traditional model of centralized production is limited. Distributed manufacturing — building closer to where parts are needed — is a practical alternative.
This webinar examines the microfactory model: a compact, integrated production system that combines robotic large-format additive manufacturing, multi-axis CNC milling, and AI-driven process intelligence to manufacture large industrial components at or near point of use.
If you are evaluating strategies to bring more production in-house, reduce supply chain exposure, or scale manufacturing capacity without a greenfield facility investment, this session is for you.
Agenda:
The manufacturing moment: why traditional centralized production is under pressure and what the shift toward distributed manufacturing means for industrial producers
The microfactory model: how the convergence of robotics, software and AI makes compact, integrated production systems viable today
Technology in practice: a look at robotic large-format additive manufacturing, multi-axis CNC milling and AI-driven process intelligence working as an integrated system
Real-world deployments: customer case studies across construction, composites and industrial manufacturing
Getting started: what manufacturers need to evaluate before pursuing a microfactory or distributed production model
