EOS On-Demand Webinar: Lightweight in Metal AM

That’s it for live events this week, but EOS has published an on-demand webinar, “Manufacturability Considerations of Lightweighting in Metal AM,” that you can access for free. Host Zach Pitts, Applications Specialist for EOS North America, will discuss just how important lightweighting is in metal additive manufacturing, specifically for laser powder bed processes: it can create cheaper parts with better performance, but you do need to consider first how this new approach to part design will affect the buildability and quality of the final printed part.

“Lightweighting is not something that can be done blindly; it needs serious consideration of how it will affect the buildability of the part and final part quality. Discover the tools available for AM and what processing considerations need to be taken into account.”

You can register to view the webinar here.

New On-Demand Nanotalks Series from Nanofabrica

Another new on-demand offering is from micro 3D printing leader Nanofabrica, which has just launched a series of short interviews, called “NANOTALKS,” on its YouTube channel. Each one is curated by the company’s VP Business Development and Marketing Tovit Neizer, and features a meaningful conversation with important people working in the additive and micro manufacturing sector discussing industry-relevant issues in these extraordinary times. Marie Langer, the CEO at EOS, was the first NANOTALKS guest, and discussed how to get the best from your team members in this disruptive industry field, advocating for a good work/life balance as a way to achieve company goals.

“At Nanofabrica, we are aware that there is an enormous amount of ‘virtual’ activity taking place as people that would normally be travelling to trade shows or face-to-face meetings seek out new ways of communicating. We also realise that there is quite a lot of fatigue setting in as people become tired of back-to-back zoom calls and virtual events,” Neizer said. “It is with this in mind that we decided to launch our NANOTALKS as an interesting snap shot as to how industry peers are working and responding to current issues as they do business.”
