Industrial 3D Printing: 10 Basics in 20 Minutes

Speakers: Fabian Alefeld and Patrick Schrade

Companies across a variety of industries are already leveraging the unique benefits of additive manufacturing (AM) to improve product development and streamline manufacturing.

Whether you’re looking to develop a comprehensive strategy or just want to experiment with 3D printing, you need to start with the basics. Understanding the workflow of AM production, how to best leverage the technology for rapid prototyping, and how the quality, speed, and cost are compared to other manufacturing methods all play a part in your decision-making process with it comes to beginning your industrial 3D printing journey. This webinar also discusses the opportunities AM provides, as well as the benefits, challenges, and limitations.

Explore the questions that are answered below in the 10 Basics in 20 Minutes webinar:

What is 3D printing / additive manufacturing, and how does it work?
What are the main 3D printing technologies and how do they differ?
What industries are using AM and what applications are they printing?
How does 3D printing compare with other manufacturing technologies?
What are the advantages and benefits?
What are the main challenges and limitations?

Fabian Alefeld is the Senior Manager for Additive Minds Consulting and Academy at EOS North America.. He is responsible for leading both teams in providing support to organizations that are incorporating additive manufacturing (AM) technology into their current operations. In this role, he provides direction for the team’s technical consulting and education services that position the organizations they work with for success in AM. To accelerate the growth of the 3D printing industry, Fabian also hosts the AM podcast “Additive Snack,” which captures the experience and knowledge of leading experts in the AM industry.

With his team of application engineers, Patrick Schrade is responsible for the development of industrial 3D printing applications together with customer organizations to support their market entry. In his role as Head of AM Academy, he is responsible for developing the first all-embracing and fully digital training and education portfolio for all roles in the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. Knowledge is key for market growth. To accelerate the growth of AM industry in a mature way, Patrick cooperates with other AM market leaders, innovators, universities, and startups to provide the best possible expertise in industrial 3D printing success.
