Additive Manufacturing’s Humble Beginnings at Ford
Manage episode 518044882 series 2601399
The global additive manufacturing industry is currently valued somewhere around $30 billion, depending on which analyst you ask, but many projections expect that value to grow beyond $100 billion as soon as around 2030.
But according to Women in 3D Printing, a global organization dedicated to promoting, supporting, and inspiring women who are using Additive Manufacturing technologies, women only make up about 13 percent of the global industry.
Jonné Messer joins ASME TechCast to share the story behind how 3D printing got started at Ford, how the company is working to bring new talent into the industry, what challenges additive manufacturing faces in the years ahead, and more.
Messer is global additive manufacturing lead at Ford Motor Company, where she’s spent nearly 30 years. She was recently awarded the 2025 TCT Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award, which recognizes women who are leading the charge in developing, enhancing, and innovating within the 3D printing and additive manufacturing world.
