The Resurgence of American Manufacturing:
In 2025, we’re going to see manufacturing come back home to the United States in a big way. Advanced manufacturing technologies are paving the path, making reshoring not just a possibility but a smart business decision. Companies want greater agility, reduced dependency on overseas suppliers, and localized production that’s faster and more adaptable. At 3DChimera, we’ve always believed in empowering businesses to build smarter and more efficiently, and now the tools to make this happen are more accessible than ever.
The Role of 3D Scanning in Digitization and Reverse Engineering:
3D scanning will be a game-changer in 2025. As companies bring their manufacturing operations back stateside, they’ll need efficient ways to digitize existing parts and designs. Whether it’s replicating legacy components or developing improvements, 3D scanning allows for highly accurate digital replicas of physical objects. At 3DChimera, we’re proud to partner with leaders like Shining3D to provide the technology businesses need to modernize their workflows and reduce development time.
Additive Manufacturing: Skipping Tooling and Jumping into Production:
The days of waiting months for tooling are numbered. Additive manufacturing—or 3D printing—is empowering companies to skip that step altogether and jump directly into production. Powder based 3D printing technologies like selective laser sintering (SLS) and multi-jet fusion (MJF) make it possible to produce functional, high-performance parts on-demand. This isn’t just about prototypes anymore—it’s full-scale production, faster and more efficient than traditional methods. At 3DChimera, we’re helping businesses embrace additive manufacturing to stay ahead of the curve, from startups to industry giants.
