Drain the Moat or Grow Legs? Interoperability, Game Theory, and the Additive Manufacturing Industry’s Nash Moment
In additive manufacturing, talk of “platforms,” “ecosystems,” and “open innovation” is easy to find. But when it comes to actual interoperability, materials freedom, software modularity, and hardware-agnostic toolchains, progress is unevenly distributed at best and marginal in many cases. Inspired by a recent conversation with notable industry insiders, I hope this article prompts a broader […]
