PANEL DISCUSSION #3 - INDUSTRIALIZATION IN POLYMER 3D PRINTING: THE MAJOR TRENDS TODAY

Polymer 3D printing is rapidly transforming from a niche technology into a cornerstone of industrial manufacturing. As this transition unfolds, several key trends are shaping the landscape of industrial polymer 3D printing. In this panel discussion, there will be a focus on the major trends driving the industrialization of polymer 3D printing and what and how a company would choose to integrate 3D printing technologies more seriously, including through advancements in printer technology, material innovations, and the integration of AI.

Moderator: David Tucker

Speakers: Michael Pecota (Perrygo Consulting), Serge Senac (Airbus)

WORKSHOP #3 - SCALING 3D PRINTING – A WORLD OF THOUSANDS OF POLYMER MATERIALS FIT FOR ANY APPLICATION

3D printing scaling is about mastering the physics behind the process complexity. As a result we get first-time-right, faster printing but more importantly we get to choose the best material for the application, without compromises. David Hartmann, CEO of Helio Additive, describes a polymer 3D printing world powered by thousands of materials that truly penetrates global manufacturing.

Speaker: David Hartmann
