“Neighborhood 91”, the strategic plan that reveals the impact of Additive Manufacturing for Pittsburgh International Airport
The Barnes Group Advisors (TBGA) has released an impact study revealing the overall economic benefits of an Additive Manufacturing production campus for the Pittsburgh International Airport.
With a name that looks like a movie title, Neighborhood 91 would sit on 195 acres directly attached to Pittsburgh International Airport. According to the advanced manufacturing engineering consultancy, the campus could integrate a complete end-to-end Additive Manufacturing (AM) ecosystem. Furthermore, it features all the required tools necessary to ensure the AM/3D printing supply chain.
TGBA reports that a cluster concept like Neighborhood 91 can foster the industrialization of the technology with the creation of a cost-efficient ecosystem. Several numerical data models with relevant industry data were complemented by economic theory to analyze the impact.
