October 13: Velo3D & 3DPrint.com Discuss Metal AM in the Space Industry

In the first of three webinars at 2 pm EST on the 13th, Velo3D is joining with 3DPrint.com to discuss “How Advanced Metal AM Can Provide the Space Industry with a Galaxy of Innovation.” Moderated by our Executive Editor Joris Peels, the discussion will focus on advancements in metal AM, and how Velo3D’s end-to-end solution can help companies make it in the emerging entrepreneurial space industry. Attendees will learn how metal AM can improve part performance and unlock design freedom, key steps needed to move from design to production, and more from Brent Hansen, Technical Business Development Manager from Velo3D, and Ali Baghchehsara, Founder and President of Plasmos.

“We’re witnessing a renaissance in the space industry. Today, there are more than 300 companies developing next generation launch vehicles. Ten years ago, that number was roughly 12. As stalwarts such as SpaceX and Blue Origin achieve high levels of success, an entire “NewSpace” industry is riding their wake trying to compete and gain the competitive edge with their own innovations.
“As the competition for investment funds intensifies, and the pressure to move beyond the whiteboard and manufacture real working parts increases, it’s no secret that the most successful companies will be those that take advantage of the latest breakthroughs in metal additive manufacturing to design, test, and manufacture with unprecedented speed and agility.”
