About this report
BigRep operates in a segment of advanced manufacturing that is strategically relevant to European defence not because of technological novelty, but because of its potential to institutionalise large-format additive manufacturing as a distributed, sovereign production capability.
In a policy environment where European defence readiness is increasingly defined by supply-chain resilience, industrial replenishment capacity, and the ability to sustain operations under disruption, the shift from physical inventories to governed digital inventories acquires structural importance.

- How does BigRep's large-format additive manufacturing institutionalise distributed, sovereign production capability?
