How 3D printing will democratise interior and architecture

Over 2,000 years the fundamentals of buildings have not
changed. The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC)
industry is one of the most archaic and polluting industries
in the world. Annually 10 Million+ commercial buildings change
their architectural finishes and furniture - sending the old
products to the dump. Digital tools, combined with digital
manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and circular
materials, will break this age-old paradigm and can give
people worldwide, direct access to sustainable spaces: smart,
beautiful, affordable, and on-demand.

My career began 43 years ago as a chemistry graduate of Duke
University joining the Monsanto Chemical Company as one of
their first female sales reps. From there the journey of
continuous learning and my passion for transforming businesses
led me to my last leadership role at Protolabs, a “Tech
Company”. I want to share a bit of what I have learned along
the way as well as my perspective on Manufacturing 4.0 and the
technology transformation that is taking place across all
industry verticals in manufacturing and among businesses small
and large.
