Additive manufacturing has the potential to transform manufacturing supply chains – speeding processes and reducing costs. And its impact is seen across every industry, from aerospace to medical devices. Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked aspects of Additive Manufacturing is workforce development.

While the technology continues to evolve, there’s a widening gap between these advanced solutions and the certified professionals to drive them. Not only is there a lack of industry-endorsed proof of workforce-ready AM skills, but this development is often inconsistent. Across industries, there’s a growing need for highly skilled additive manufacturing workers for key industry jobs. With access for schools to more than $2 billion in workforce development funding from the government – specifically for training programs – now is the time to put a spotlight on your students and the need for AM certification.

There isn’t a single “best” solution. 3D printing is an alternative to CNC that opens the door to more options and new capabilities. Step inside a well-equipped shop and you will see CNC mills sitting side-by-side with 3D printers. Shouldn’t your school be a well-equipped shop? Shouldn’t your graduates have the insight to what makes these processes different, the combination creates a workflow where the best solution is always available?

Step into two different schools and learn what they have in their manufacturing centers, how they are teaching it and what the benefit is to their students. Register to watch!

Speakers: Fadi Abro (Automotive Business Segment Leader, Stratasys), Ricky Shannon (Lead Application Engineer – 3D Printing, TriMech Solutions)

Since the implementation of 3D printing in manufacturing, there has been an increasing need for an advanced tooling solution that can withstand the rigorous demands of the factory floor without damaging parts.

Speakers: Tim Greene (Research Director – Hardcopy Solutions, IDC), Wayne Benson (Director – Factory Floor Solutions, Stratasys)

Production time lost, task avoidance, workers’ compensation and hiring and training of replacement employees are just a few of the hidden costs of manufacturing-related injuries. Learn how 3D printing can help manufacturers avoid those costs by improving worker comfort, increasing safety and reducing injuries on the factory floor. Register to watch!

Speaker: Gina Scala (Marketing Director – Global Education, Stratasys)

Bringing design ideas to life is a complex and multi-stage process. What if there was a better way to fill the gap between render and reality for your stakeholders without sending designs out to a model shop? Learn about how full-color 3D printing can solve design challenges and see what that could look like in your work space. Register to watch!

Speaker: James White, Director  (Additive Manufacturing Strategy Consulting Practice, CIM Data)

You know Lean. The efforts targeted to Continuous Improvement and Respect for People and Teamwork aren’t new. But do you know how additive manufacturing (AM) redefines Lean within your work environment? With an interest in AM or as an AM-adopter, you may have already realized traditional methods for optimizing workflows and KPIs function very differently with 3D printing.

Join industry expert, James White from CIM Data, to learn how major companies like Boeing and Apple navigate the second wave of Lean to improve quality, eliminate waste, reduce time, reduce total costs, recalculate ROI. Register to watch!

For many applications and industries, the benefits of additive manufacturing are well-defined. Design freedom, flexible manufacturing, hyper-personalization to name a few. The temptation is with such well-defined benefits, all it takes to make additive manufacturing work within a business is to buy a machine and materials.

In fact, for additive to be transformational, the entire business must buy into additive manufacturing; from the boardroom to the factory floor. In this presentation from Blueprint, we’ll demonstrate this enterprise-wide approach:

• We’ll help you articulate the why by introducing a new mindset for understanding the business benefits of additive manufacturing.
• We’ll explore what technologies are available, when to use those technologies, and how to quickly calculate ROI.
• Finally, we’ll frame how to think about deploying and sustaining additive manufacturing within your organization.

Spend 60 minutes with Blueprint and you’ll come away armed with the tools you need to adopt additive manufacturing within your organization. Register to watch!

Attendees will learn about how Stratasys’ advanced GrabCAD Print software takes a simple STL and generates a complex interior structure in order to accurately recreate anatomical models and they will be able to take home a sample printed on a Stratasys J750 Digital Anatomy Printer. We will also review published data on various 3D printed digital anatomies that are commercially available today and how they compare to native tissue. Register to watch!

Team Penske, one of the most successful teams in the history of professional sports, continues to evolve their production processes in order to minimize lead times and maximize performance on the racetrack. Additive manufacturing (AM) has led the charge in this evolution with new approaches to tooling applied within all production departments including composites, fabrication, machining, and assembly.

Stratasys AM printers have replaced 5-axis CNC machines for most composite and thermoforming tooling production by leveraging the manufacturing freedoms and high-performance materials afforded through additive. Lightweight polymer fixtures have replaced costly metal-machined and fabricated fixturing for rapid vehicle development. Additionally, the implementation of FDM technology has resulted in a more efficient and cost-effective approach to thermoforming racecar components.

Come and learn how additive manufacturing has infiltrated tooling applications within Team Penske for quick turnaround solutions that keep them at the forefront of racing. Register to watch!

Speakers: JP Velasco (Segment Applications Engineer – Stereolithography, Stratasys)

The perception of color is the result of a number of variables. Differences in the human eye, lighting and reflectiveness all determine how we see color. And when it comes to translating color from the digital world to the physical, what you see is not always what you get.

3D printing with PANTONE and VeroVivid materials bridges that gap. As the first 3D printers to be PANTONE Validated, Stratasys J8 series printers bring true color to physical objects.

Join us in this webinar as we explore the science of color. We’ll also show you how to translate digital color into accurate 3D printed color with PANTONE and GrabCAD Print. Register to watch!
