"Smaller manufacturing firms are the foundation of America's industrial base. And increasing their capacity is critical to making more things in America -- getting products faster, cheaper, and reliably -- and outcompeting the world.

3D printing can reduce part lead times by 90%, slash material costs by 90%, and cut energy use in half. That all helps to lower the cost of making goods in America. But, not all small and medium-sized firms have access to the support needed to adopt this technology.
