Learn About the Engineering Behind Additive Manufacturing at the AM3D Conference in Boston Learn About the Engineering Behind Additive Manufacturing at the AM3D Conference in Boston Learn About the Engineering Behind Additive Manufacturing at the AM3D Conference in BostonRegistration is now open for the Additive Manufacturing + 3D Printing (AM3D) Conference and Expo, which will take place from Aug. 2 to 5 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, in conjunction with ASMEs long-running International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers Information in Engineering Conference (IDETC/CIE). Attendees who register by June 1 will receive a discount of up to $120 off the onsite registration price and be entered to win a Form 1+ 3D printer.The conference in Boston is the second additive manufacturing conference sponsored by ASME this year, following the inaugural AM3D India event that was presented last month. AM3D Boston will feature four days of technical present ations, panel sessions and an exhibition demonstrating the latest additive manufacturing technologies. The meetings program, which been customized around the product development process, will highlight the issues and challenges associated with each step of the additive manufacturing lifecycle, including making the business case selecting parts and designing for additive manufacturing material considerations process advancements and inspection and quality control issues.AM3D will feature dozens of speakers from the additive manufacturing field, including the conferences keynote speakers Jason Lopes, lead systems engineer from Legacy Effects, and Hod Lipson, professor of engineering and director of Cornell Universitys Creative Machines Lab. During their session on Aug. 3, The Engineering Behind 3D Printing, Lopes and Lipson will discuss the how the expanding capabilities of additive manufacturing is transforming the world today and will become a disruptive force in estab lished industries in the near future.Other experts scheduled to speak during the conference include Marcin Bauza, director of new technology and neuschpfung at Carl Zeiss IMT Dave Edstrom, chief technology officer for Memex Automation Zach Simking, co-president of Senvol John Slotwinski, additive manufacturing development engineer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Simin Zhou, vice president of digital manufacturing technology at UL and John Wilczynski, deputy director of technology development for the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining (NCDMMM).In addition, AM3D will also feature a number of special events, including a social meetup and mini-talks session for early career engineers, a variety of tutorials and workshops, a tour of the MIT laboratories, and two student engineering design competitions the Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D Challenge (IAM3D) and the Innovative Design Simulation Challenge (IDSC).Registration f or the Additive Manufacturing + 3D Printing Conference and Expo will also include entry to the IDETC/CIE, which will be co-located with AM3D.
