What\u2019s changing? Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is providing faster, cost-effective solutions to traditional printing. Moreover, it\u2019s environmentally friendly, enabling manufacturers to reduce waste, use less energy, and create products that are lighter, more efficient and more recyclable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brain Neff, CEO of Sintavia, an aerospace manufacturing\ncomponent company in South Florida, discusses how the next 20 years will be witnessing\nan amazing impact on the 12 trillion-dollar global manufacturing footprint environmentally.\n&nbsp;His company additively manufactures\ncommercial aerospace applications, which is an industry ripe for proactively\nadopting and embracing the environmental benefits of additive manufacturing,\nincluding eliminating waste, providing sustainability and avoiding high-failure\nrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more from Brian Neff\u2019s video presentation at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x7bpop0zryY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TEDx Talks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Additive manufacturing providing faster, cost-effective solutions (video).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49773,"featured_media":3019,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[63,1,171],"tags":[],"industry":[],"product":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-3015","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-news","category-video"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2020\/02\/sintavia.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/49773"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3015"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3015\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4504,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3015\/revisions\/4504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3015"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=3015"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=3015"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/thought-leadership\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
