Starting with the aerospace industry, there\u2019s a lot to uncover. One of the most important considerations in aerospace comes down to weight, and the faster parts and materials can adapt to the needs of manufacturers, the quicker they can get rockets into space and planes into the sky. This is where additive manufacturing provides unique benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My guest today is Dale Tutt, the Vice President of Aerospace and Defense Industry at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Essentially, Dale represents the voice of the customer as he works alongside the product teams to develop solutions. He\u2019s also responsible for helping develop the overall industry strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, we\u2019ll learn how additive manufacturing is being used in the aerospace industry, and how it\u2019s uniquely positioned to quickly develop parts when weight is a concern. We\u2019ll also hear about the pace of adoption of new technology across the industry, and discover the certification details process that\u2019s required for product clearance and implementation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some Questions I ask:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What use cases do you see being used in the aerospace industry?
