For Printing Money’s first episode in 2024, Danny is joined by returning guest Dayton Horvath, Director of Emerging Technology at AMT, and by Dayton’s colleague, Chris Chidzik, Principal Economist at AMT.  First, we zoom out and look with Chris at the manufacturing sector as a whole. Then we zoom back in with Dayton, and focus on the additive manufacturing (AM) market activity in the last month. Any market knowledge of the 3D printing industry is incomplete without a grasp on the larger manufacturing industry, and Dayton, Chris, and AMT are the perfect combination to address this topic.  You will learn about utilization, machinery orders vs tooling orders, the market effects of interest rates and geopolitics, and of course all the deals and AM analysis Printing Money listeners love to hear about.

If Episode 14 doesn’t sate your manufacturing market appetite, we recommend attending the AMT Winter Economic Forum webinar on Friday January 26.  Also, Dayton, Danny, and many of the people and companies mentioned in this episode will be on-site at AMS NYC, this February 6-8.  Come meet us!
