Is Additive Manufacturing (AM) ready to take on mass production?

DATE: Tuesday, September 29, 2020
TIME: 2:00 PM ET/11:00 AM PT

During the COVID-related shutdowns, Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing stepped in to fill the gaps resulting from suspended factory operations, proving it is more than a rapid prototyping technology. In this episode, panelists put AM on the hot seat to decide if it’s mature enough to become a means of mass-production.

Moderated by a DE Senior Editor Kenneth Wong, webinar panelists will discuss:

  • Volumes and shapes ideally suited for AM;
  • Onsite printing vs. on-demand printing for a fee;
  • The role of simulation in AM.

Our presentation will be followed by a LIVE Q&A session.
