Additive Manufacturing in the Energy Industry (ep. 4)
The energy industry has for a long time been conservative and opposed to changes in its operations. However, the current shift in energy preference that has been brought on by the need for environmental conservation and government regulation has changed the industry’s attitude. They are now digitalizing and embracing concepts such as additive manufacturing to reduce cost, attract talent, and extend the life of existing plants.
