Electronics News is currently featuring a half-hour webinar, hosted by Jonathan L Cobb of world leader Stratasys, titled Additive Manufacturing 101: Changing the Future of Product Development and Manufacturing.
Additive manufacturing technologies are also commonly known as "Rapid Prototyping" or "3D Printing" as well as other names.
And, although they are still being used by design engineers for concept modeling and prototyping, that’s not all.
Manufacturing engineers are now employing these technologies for various applications such as jigs, fixtures, check gauges, and even as a bridge-to-tooling and low-volume end-use parts.
Cobb, the US company’s Executive Vice President, Marketing, takes the viewer through a half-hour presentation on aspects including:
- How additive manufacturing can help designers create better products
- Why additive manufacturing gets products to market faster and cheaper
- How companies like: BMW, GM and Boeing use additive manufacturing
- What’s in store for additive manufacturing in the future
Our associated publications, Manufacturers' Monthly has recently featured interviews with the firms Filor 3D Services and Williams United that have invested in Stratasys machines this year to take advantage of the technology’s benefits.
