From Fashion to Metal AM: Scaling Additive Manufacturing into #Production 🚀
What does it take to go from trend forecasting…to building one of the largest additive-focused contract manufacturers?
In our latest #AdditiveSnack, Fabian Alefeld sits down with Erin Mastroni, founder of I3D Manufacturing, to talk about scaling #MetalAM from prototyping to full production.
Here’s what stood out:
• Turning vision into reality - launching a metal AM business with no traditional manufacturing background
• Cracking early challenges - from funding hurdles to landing a key customer in #aerospace
• Scaling fast - growing from 2 machines to ~30, across two campuses
👉 The big question: What does it really take to scale #additivemanufacturing into true serial production?
