What do you do if your boss doesn't understand the challenges you face in the 3D Printing industry?

If your boss doesn't understand the challenges you face in the 3D printing industry, provide clear and concise explanations of the specific difficulties encountered. Offer potential solutions or suggestions for addressing these challenges to facilitate better understanding and support from leadership.

I also recommend relating 3D printing technology back to a product from your company or that you boss knows well. Sharing the advantages and disadvantages of using 3D printing technology in a real-life example can help your boss better understand to the challenges and educate him/her on how it be used.

We humans don't learn by intengible words and endless debates. We learn when we see it in action. So here are a few things that can be done: 1. First make sure you define your problem in a way so anyone can understand. 2. Instead of explaining the problem, emphasize more on the solution and how it will benefit the business. 3. Find out the real examples where similar problems occurred and what was the solution. 4. Conduct extensive research backed by the facts, gather enough data, and present it with full conviction. Your boss may not agree with you but in the end, he will have to appreciate your efforts. In most cases the boss will agree when he sees any research with the hard facts.

Looking at the top-ranked startups for the last decades helps explain how 3D printing is a game-changer in the industry. What helps understand the challenges of 3D printing is highlighting the possibilities brought by 3D printing compared to traditional manufacturing methods through a concrete example.

What is certain is that every person does not have the ability to understand nonphysical issues, so we have to reach the conclusion from the ways that person has the ability to understand. I suggest that if such a problem arises between you and your boss, find a way to explain your challenge to him or her. For example, you can use his moral characteristics or interests. Or reach your goal with more concrete examples.

Good communication is a key for healthy lifestyle. It not only works tackles a small problem but also can be stop a big war if done promptly. I will communicated to my boss about problem that are causing and also provide few suggestions and its causes that will make him understand the problem well and it will be better for organisational goals

Each printing process has its own limitation in the terms of build volume, printing costs and final property of the product. All these limitations can be communicated and research data can be presented to support the argument.

Provide necessary visuals such as a 3D design, simulation results, Data sets, publications, sample work, along with relevant data sets, files, including facts and figures of pros and cons. Such practice will help you be a reliable designers /innovators.

If my boss doesn't understand the challenges in the 3D printing industry, I'd research to confirm it's not due to my lack of understanding. Then, I'd propose alternative solutions backed by facts, clearly communicate the challenges, and seek feedback to ensure we're on the same page.

Sometimes you need additional resources or training to overcome the challenges in 3D printing. Don't hesitate to ask your boss for support. Whether it's investing in new software, attending a workshop, or bringing in a consultant for specialized projects, make it clear how these resources can lead to better outcomes. By tying support requests to tangible benefits, you're more likely to gain your boss's backing.

My former group would make project "councils" for critical builds. The main project file would be shared in a team chat. It wouldn't be printed until all members of the team opened and inspected the file with feedback. My manager, being included in this chat, could see how the team was working through the challenge and make in-touch leadership decisions instead of feeling out of the loop. Transparency is key.

Before conveying the challenges you face in 3D printing, try to provide solution for the problem. If not provide suggestions for alternative solutions. Ask for support from your boss for getting solution for your problem. Because, challenges are the first layer of innovation.
