3D printing revolution: How localised manufacturing Is reshaping global trade

In an era of trade tensions and supply chain disruptions, transformative technologies are quietly reshaping how companies think about production, distribution, and geopolitical risk. In the realm of advanced manufacturing, robotic large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) is rapidly emerging as a strategic tool for businesses seeking to bypass traditional trade constraints and build more resilient operations. In this feature, Francesco De Stefano, CEO of Caracol AM, discusses how LFAM reduces reliance on global supply chains, cut emissions, and support on-demand manufacturing.
