The company recently announced intentions to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions across its business by at least 35 percent by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. Neighborhood 91 is a collection of like-minded 3D printing supply chain businesses located in one central location on a 195-acre cam- pus to create efficiencies. The area's amenities include on-site noble gas production and recycling, a microgrid with inexpensive power, proximity to an international air- port for transport, and access to all the components needed for AM within a 2-hour radius of the city.
