ADDITIV Aerospace will Take Place Tomorrow!

On March 18th at 8AM EDT (1PM CET), ADDITIV Aerospace will open its doors to Aerospace professionals to discuss the applications for additive manufacturing (AM) in the sector. This 100% virtual event will be an ideal opportunity to learn how people in the aerospace industry are already using AM and the impact it has in different fields. Registration is free and already many leading players in both 3D printing and Aerospace have confirmed that they will be present. Beyond the panel discussions and workshops, you will be able to meet with 40 exhibitors who will be present at tables like in a traditional trade show. Let’s take a closer look at the agenda for the day and the topics we will be discussing.

AM technologies have significant advantages over traditional methods when it comes to sectors like aerospace. One of the speakers at ADDITIV Aerospace, Bill Haddad, the Director of Additive Design and Manufacturing at Collins Aerospace and who will be speaking on the panel Certification and Safety in the Aerospace Sector: How is Additive Manufacturing Changing the Norms, notes: “Additive manufacturing has the potential to significantly impact so many industries, including aerospace. Many of the benefits inherent to AM apply to aerospace including lowering component weight, shorter lead times and innovative designs. By applying this technology to aircraft and subsystems, the aerospace industry will realize substantial improvements in both design and production. Industry events like ADDITIV Aerospace are important to continue to promote the growth of AM in the aerospace industry and share new ideas and concepts across the value chain.” ADDITIV Aerospace will allow attendees to dive more into the importance of 3D printing in Aerospace. It will begin at 8AM EDT (1PM CET) on March 18th and will end at 6PM EDT (11AM CET). On the agenda: five panel discussions, 5 networking sessions, and three workshops!

It is increasingly important to hold events highlighting the intersection of AM and Aerospace. By bringing together both industries, productive conversations on both ends, as AM companies and professionals will be able to engage and see where AM can be of the most use to Aerospace, while Aerospace professionals can see first hand the benefits of AM for the industry. Formlabs, one of the sponsors of the events, is especially passionate about holding events on the role of AM in Aerospace. Katherine Brown, Associate Events Marketing Manager at Formlabs explains: “Events like ADDITIV Aerospace keep an open line of communication between 3D printer and materials providers and the engineers, manufacturers and others that use them. We use events like this to have conversations about what we’re excited to introduce, what we are working on, and what our customers would like to see in the future. We have always offered the ability to produce high-performance prototypes and end-use parts, efficiently and for a low-cost. Now, we’ve introduced some specific new products that we know will be particularly meaningful in this industry. Rigid 10K Resin has allowed our users to make stiffer, stronger parts. The Fuse 1 is offering incredible part quality, a simple SLS workflow, and expanding our suite of materials to include nylon-12. We’re looking forward to showcasing our technology at this event and connecting with professionals from around the world.”
