Conferencefrom 10:00 am
to 11:00 amHow to integrate 3D printing in your factory
Long limited to prototyping, 3D printing is now entering plants. The past few months were marked by an increased interest for the technology as regards its use in production. Major manufacturers are multiplying their announcements: GE, Siemens, Thales, etc. This new production means requires new skills, an adapted organisation, new design methods, etc. Manufacturers having already adopted the technology will share their experience during this round table.

Conferencefrom 11:15 am
to 11:45 am“Walk This Way” Reebok’s Utilization of its Additive Manufacturing Systems
Reebok was the First footwear company to embrace AM/3D Printing back in January 1998 when it received its first DTM SLS 2500CI system. This presentation will give an insight to the past 20 plus years of Additive Manufacturing at Reebok. From prototypes to confirmation models as well as small run production parts.
- Introduced by Gary RABINOVITZ - AM/3D Printing Lab Manager - REEBOK

Conferencefrom 12:00 pm
to 12:30 pmInnovative projects integrating electronic parts in additive manufacturing
The rapid use of 3D printing technology and additive manufacturing brings with it new approaches to the electronics industry. This presentation will highlight the many challenges of developing a professional 3D printer for electronics as well as real life applications demonstrating the many advantages of 3D printed electronics for the painstaking process of product development. Business implications include faster time to market, improved efficiency, more innovative and agile hardware development cycles and completely new design geometries, that cannot be produced in any other way – which is game changing. Moreover, it is bringing in the era of a ‘factory in a box’ where systems manufacture systems.

Conferencefrom 01:15 pm
to 01:45 pmWhy is the STL format no longer good enough? What are the new file formats?
The STL format has been a de facto standard (but not an ISO standard) for over 30 years in order to transfer information between CAD modelers; however the machines do not handle any of these possibilities. Therefore, this data exchange format needed to be “modernised” and “standardised”. Discover new practices to integrate new possibilities.

Conferencefrom 02:00 pm
to 03:30 pmMetal additive manufacturing: feedback from international leaders
Our panel of international experts will share their feedback and the many advantages offered by additive manufacturing technology, each in their respective sectors (aeronautics, medical, automotive, maritime, electronics). By discussing the economic aspect and innovations using concrete examples, they will explain why they already use it or are starting to adopt it.
- Moderated by Michael PETCH - Editor in Chief - 3D PRINTING INDUSTRY

Conferencefrom 03:45 pm
to 04:30 pmThe future of 3D printing: automated production systems
In order to optimise the additive manufacturing yield, leaders in the sector have developed innovative solutions. The aim is to minimise or even eliminate operator interventions. These futuristic solutions also make it possible to create different tasks, thus enabling mass customisation.
- Moderated by Benoit FURET - Professor - UNIVERSITE NANTES
