Additive manufacturing/3D printing, which builds a complete part by fusing material layer by layer, is revolutionizing manufacturing today and will continue to be a breakthrough technology. As President Obama assessed in his second State of the Union address, 3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the way we make everything. Because the technology will change our clients’ businesses, Benesch has formed a 3D Printing Industry Group, a multidisciplinary team led by core members of the firm’s Innovations, Information Technology & Intellectual (3iP) Property Group.

The sea change is here. Are you prepared to ride the wave?

3D printing is not for tchotchkes anymore—the technology is being applied in sometimes unimaginable ways: For example, apartment buildings are being printed with large 3D printers. This is phenomenal technology with groundbreaking implications for numerous types of industries.
