The Third Industrial Revolution – The Swiss Edge

3D printing or “additive manufacturing” has the potential to transform every single aspect of our lives. Today’s machines can print objects out of almost any material, from plastic to glass, from chocolate to titanium, and with any complex geometry. 3D printing technology could bring enormous new benefits, but also big challenges in the way manufacturing operations are managed and run.
