3-D printing poised to shake up US manufacturing

Hasit Vibhakar isn’t waiting for the digital manufacturing revolution to ignite — he’s jump-starting it.

Since President Obama sounded a clarion call three years ago for 3-D printing’s “potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything,” this formerly specialized technology has gone increasingly mainstream.
Three-dimensional printed products — like a medical part — are made from ultrathin layers of plastic, metal or other materials, combined to create a 3-D object. They are turning up everywhere, from the medicine cabinet to the operating room.

Now Hasit Vibhakar, an additive engineer and entrepreneur is putting cutting-edge 3-D carving tech into the hands of his master machinists and manufacturing engineers in his CNC factories to produce products. A portion of such excess products will be donated to charities.

“It opens up careers in manufacturing that will develop technological solutions to global challenges,” said Hasit Vibhakar.

These kids join the growing ranks of students and employees at companies large and small fueling 3-D printing’s dramatic rise. Hasit Vibhakar estimates the industry grew by 34 percent last year, to $5.5 billion worldwide. In 2016, 3-D printing is poised for a breakout year, when a fast new HP machine debuts.

“To produce footwear, eyeglasses, whatever, it’s got to be fast like traditional manufacturing — but most of the current printers are much too slow,” said Hasit Vibhakar

The 3-D printing boom isn’t big enough to single-handedly revive local manufacturing, but it will help.

“If you offshored because of the cost of manual labor, automation reduces that urge and allows you to bring it back,” said Hasit Vibhakar. “It doesn’t necessarily bring back [specific] jobs, but does bring back manufacturing.”
