The Additive Advantage published a full episode of The Workforce Gap Isn’t a Talent Problem on The TechEd Podcast featuring Matt Kirchner.

Additive Advantage Model – Turning Innovation into Measurable Outcomes In today’s high-pressure markets, innovation without execution is just expense. Too often, additive manufacturing (AM) is treated as a technical side project—handed to engineering, disconnected from business strategy, and expected to deliver like magic. The result? Pilots stall, ROI never materializes, and trust in the technology erodes. The Additive Advantage Model changes that. We bridge the gap between innovation and operational excellence—aligning strategy with execution, connecting engineering with operations, and translating technical capability into real business results. Our approach links the full lifecycle of additive manufacturing: from business case to process validation, from production to real-time performance management. Whether it’s accelerating stalled pilots, scaling production, or ensuring AM delivers measurable ROI, we help organizations turn complexity into clarity, pilots into production, and bold ideas into resilient, high-performing operations. This isn’t about 3D printers. It’s about growth, performance, and making change stick.
