As a leader in digital manufacturing, Protolabs plays a key part in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or “Industry 4.0”. Our guests explain how digitally powered manufacturing is accelerating lead times and life cycles across industries, how Artificial Intelligence and machine learning can help, and how the Covid-19 pandemic impacted the sector. They also explain why 3D printing – or additive manufacturing – can lead to more sustainable and climate-friendly product designs.
