July 20: Solving ESD Manufacturing Challenges with 3D Printing

If you’re interested in the intersection of 3D printing and electrostatic discharge, also known as ESD, you’ll want to tune in this webinar by Fortify and Global SMT & Packaging, “Can 3D Printing Solve Your ESD Manufacturing Challenges?” The webinar will be held at 11 am EST on Wednesday, July 20th. The speakers will be Fortify co-founder Randy Erb, who’s also the co-founder of Boston Materials, LLC and an associate professor in the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering department at Northeastern University, and Ben MacDonald, Senior Applications Engineer at Fortify.

“A current review of 3D printed ESD materials will be explored, in addition to the unique printing and processing capabilities that allow Fortify’s printers and materials to meet the requirements of electronics manufacturers.”

July 20: Fortify, Averatek, & America Makes

Speaking of Fortify, it’s co-hosting another webinar on the 20th, but at 2 pm EST, on “Insertion Loss of 3D Printed Selectively Metallized Microstrip Circuits on Low-Loss Dielectric with Varied Surface Roughness.” As part of the America Makes TRX Webinar Series, Colby Hobart of Fortify and Mike Vinson of Averatek will discuss the partnership between the two companies to create a series of microstrip parts in order to study surface roughness effects on insertion loss for low-loss dielectrics, 3D printed using Averatek’s selective metallization with plated copper on the Fortify FLUX CORE Continuous Kinetic Mixing (CKM) printer, from Rogers Corporation’s Radix material. Their results showed that despite a wide variation in surface roughness, there was very little in insertion loss.

“Watch this webinar and learn more about:

• The workflow used to design and manufacture at different surface roughnesses and print orientations
• The workflow used to metalize and test these microstrips
• The real-world impact on insertion loss of various roughnesses induced by printing in different orientations

July 20: ASME on Distributed Manufacturing with Metal AM

Also at 2 pm on the 20th, ASME will hold a webinar about how to use advanced metal 3D printing to enable resilient supply chains in “Print, Replace, & Repeat: Distributed Manufacturing with Metal AM.” Attendees will hear about how to scale the AM supply chain, the role industry- and manufacturing-level standardization have on successful part repeatability, the role of post-processing in the wider manufacturing process, how advanced metal AM can reduce part cost and improve lead times, and more. Speakers will be Carlo De Bernardi, Staff Engineer at ConocoPhillips, and Velo3D Technical Sales Engineers SJ Jones and Sid Raje.

“With supply chain challenges gripping the globe, organizations across industries need effective solutions to overcome disruptions. Advanced metal additive manufacturing solutions utilizing laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) provide not only the supply chain flexibility required, but the material property consistency and enhanced geometric capability needed to reproduce parts for the most demanding fields and applications.”
