I caught part of a great webinar on 3D printing earlier this week. Why
is 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, accelerating? Major
patents are expiring!
Dr. Ron Aman from Rochester Institute of Technology and
Steven Walker of North Carolina State University discussed the manufacturing
scene and how their leading research institutes are developing pioneering
approaches.
One example they walked through is how to choose whether to
3D print with plastic vs. going with a molded design.
They also shared the approximate number of 3D printed parts
that Boeing has in each plane. Hint - it's a big number!
Key points discussed in the webinar:
- Understand how research efforts are turning into
commercial applications.
- Gain insight into materials development for 3D
printing.
- Understand the dynamics around expiring patents
and their impact on 3D printing adoption rates.
- Learn about the growing interest in hybrid 3D
printing techniques.
You can catch
the free webinar, which was sponsored by Stratasys, on-demand for 90 days.
In addition to viewing the webinar you'll be able to listen in on a 30 minute
Q&A session where Ron and Steven go into more detail on some aspects of 3D
printing.
