From cars toconstruction materials, prices are skyrocketing while availability growsless certain with each passing day. How do we protect ourselves againstprice movements and manufacturing risks dominated by global forcesoutside of our control? Manufacturers must invest in self-reliant means of production to reducedependence on faltering global supply chains and outsourcemanufacturing.In this webinar we will:

1. Compare centralized and distributed manufacturing models,
2. Provide examples of how Markforged customers are combatting theEverything Shortage with 3D printers, and3. Present a vision for how manufacturers can lessen reliance on globalsupply chains through decentralizing manufacturing.
