Major players in the market, including AS ONE, Mitsui Kinzoku and Yugyōkuen Ceramics, are creating a wider range of touchpoints by investing in a portfolio of 3D printing technologies for high-performance ceramics. By building this strong 3D printing network, the companies involved are leading the way to real innovation in Japanese manufacturing.
