Advanced manufacturing represents the future of the American economy if we embrace it.  Powered by intellectual muscle, advanced manufacturing demands constantly reinventing the way we make things.  The regular deployment of new and disruptive technologies into the supply chain will optimize resource use.  Tomorrow, we can expect to see spare parts fabricated on demand using 3D printing and factories that take their cues from real-time analysis of “big data” from customer operations.
