I'm really energised right now about how innovation is driving additive manufacturing forward, particularly in terms of electronic engineering.

One of the things I'm most excited about is multimaterial printing. This form of 3D printing is helping electronic engineers produce components that can stand up to even the harshest of environments—critical for the space and aeronautical industries.

Meanwhile, AI is making production processes more efficient. Intelligent systems remove guesswork and eliminate laborious tasks, leaving electronic engineers free to focus on what they do best—solving complex engineering problems in a rewarding way.

And, of course, IoT. The Internet of Things is making electronic manufacturing smart, turning vastly complicated production chains into streamlined, interactive networks.

Which of these trends are you most engaged with?
