History shows that innovative thinking attracts more innovative thinking with “innovation sectors” clustering and growing due to knowledge-based economies. The quality of a company’s workers is key, but success is also driven by the entire ecosystem that surrounds it.
Neighborhood 91, an Additive Manufacturing (AM) production campus at Pittsburgh International Airport, will act as a catalyst for AM industrialization and innovation with the creation of a cost-efficient ecosystem and the collection of smart people. The economic impact of this campus will be big and built on the success of individual companies. To spur economic impact with the adoption of advanced manufacturing, we must address a specific problem for the manufacturer.
The bottom line: a company needs to make money and realize tangible benefits from advanced manufacturing adoption. Small wins combine to become big wins and the proverbial snowball is rolling and growing.
