Additive manufacturing (AM) and AI are two of the most exciting fields in technology today. 3D printing has revolutionized manufacturing and design, allowing for the creation of complex objects with ease. Meanwhile, AI tools such as ChatGPT, MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, and Resemble have shown their potential to transform the media landscape. With simple natural language text input, these tools can generate art, articles, and stories in a matter of seconds.

The potential for innovation, however, is limitless when 3D printing and AI converge. By leveraging AI, AM designers can optimize their creations to be stronger and more efficient. AI can even make the medium more accessible to everyone by reducing the high-skill ceiling of slicer tuning down to simple check boxes. Together, 3D printing and AI can drive the next generation of manufacturing.

To delve deeper into the potential of this exciting technology, we reached out to various experts in the AM industry, including thought leaders, journalists, and enthusiasts. Here are their insights on where the industry’s heading.
