Industry Roundtable Insights Report

As energy supply chains face increasing pressure from disruption, decarbonisation, and long lead times, the ability to manufacture critical components faster and closer to point of need is becoming a strategic necessity. Additive manufacturing is no longer a future concept — but its large-scale adoption in the energy sector remains uneven.

This Industry Roundtable Insights Report captures a closed-door discussion with 30 senior energy and academic leaders, examining the real-world role of additive manufacturing (AM) in strengthening supply chain resilience. The conversation explored how AM can reduce lead times, cost, and emissions, while addressing the structural barriers slowing adoption, including certification, intellectual property, procurement models, and industry confidence.

Drawing on cross-sector perspectives and real deployment examples, the report outlines what must change for AM to move beyond pilots and into mainstream energy operations.
