What Should We Call Additive Manufacturing Businesses? AM Radio #3
Machining is done in a shop, injection molding is done at a molder and casting is done at a foundry. But what do we call businesses that do additive manufacturing? Peter Zelinski and Julia Hider discuss why it’s difficult to name these businesses (and suggest a few options) on this episode of AM Radio.
