…2:00 PM ET/11:00 AM PT During the COVID-related shutdowns, Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing stepped in to fill the gaps resulting from suspended factory operations, proving it is more than a rapid prototyping technology. In this episode, panelists put AM on the hot seat to decide if it’s mature enough to become a means of mass-production. Moderated by a DE Senior Editor Kenneth Wong, webinar panelists will discuss: Volumes and shapes ideally suited for AM; Onsite printing vs. on-demand printing for a fee; The role of simulation in AM. Our presentation will be followed by a LIVE Q&A session.…
