3D printing considerations•Speed•Tip size (how much 3D material is laid down)•Multi-material•Multi-resolution•Part yield •Printer uptime •Traceability (what piece came from which batch)•Machine shop user interface •Oven technology – consistent heat application; – consistent cooling/fan air flow; – apply heat at different rates to the product

•Layer interfacial temperatures (layer bonding)•Multiple extruders on the same printing head•Larger motors•Increase oven heat to accommodate new materials•Increase camera ability which conflicts, of course, with oven temperatures•Bigger space for printing•The ability to mix and match extruders, affecting size, color, materials, blend and beads.

How do we understand what skills shortages employers face today?

▪ Lack of Detail

▪ No Localized Skills Information

▪ Outdated (maybe)

▪ No Employer Data

Traditional Data Weaknesses

▪ Highly Structured

▪ Projections & Trends

▪ Total Coverage

Traditional Data Strengths

▪ Provides Details on Job Descriptions

▪ Connects Jobs to Specific Businesses

▪ Reflects Current Outlook & Demand

Real-Time Data Strengths

▪ Small Portion of Economy Represented

▪ Non-Standardized Structure

▪ Unable to Produce Projections

Real-Time Data Weaknesses
