Designers and engineers have grown up with milling and drilling as the manufacturing technologies for developing products. With 3D Printing/Additive manufacturing new opportunities arise but also new pitfalls.
3D printing is not just a prototyping technology anymore, it is a manufacturing technology which requires a different way of thinking. A designer needs to know the ins and outs of the product, and is required to learn new skills and approaches to become a real professional in 3D Printing Design & Engineering. Many aspects should be considered: how will it function, what should it be supporting, what is the optimal construction?
The 3DDE Conference offers design and engineering professionals the chance to learn and to look at design challenges from different perspectives using 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing. The Conference covers the following topics:
- 3D design & 3D engineering tools / Visualisation tools
- Value Engineering / Virtual Engineering
- Topology Optimization
- Validation
- IP, liability, legal and technical issues
- Reverse engineering
- Postprocessing / AMES (Additive Manufacturing Execution Systems) / (MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems)
- Blockchain
Who should attend? Any person who is involved in developing products using 3D printing, from designer to engineer, from researcher to 3D printer manufacturer and from material manufacturer to software developer.
Two day 3D Printing Event The 3D Design & Engineering Conference is part of the two day 3D Printing Event which covers the whole 3d printing / AM value chain from design to end product with four dedicated conferences plus one future looking conference.
