Key takeaways:

• As Additive Manufacturing (AM) comes into widespread use it may upend supply chains by separating the digital and the physical. PLM can enable this transformation; PLM’s absence could be chaotic.
• Manufacturers working in supply chains may be able to shift production to customers equipped for AM. Instead of physical parts, customer will buy products in digital form as technical data packages (TDPs).
• Moog Inc. is developing this capability with AM, Blockchain, and PLM and it expects significant, measurable benefits.
