November 10: Control the Design Release Process with 3DEXPERIENCE

November 10th will be a busy day, and the next webinar will be by Dassault Systèmes at 1 pm EST, about how to “Get Control of Your Design Release Process with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform!” Steve Fick, Industry Process Consultant and Certified SOLIDWORKS Expert, will teach attendees how they can fast-track the release of their next design by having a single source for part numbers, product definition, and easy-to-use data visualization in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

“Assigning vendors, issuing part numbers, anticipating lead times, and managing release status – there’s so much more that goes into getting a product to market than just designing it. To manage the complexities associated with the design release process, and get your design released efficiently, you need more than just disconnected spreadsheets.”

November 10: Bridging Production in Pediatrics with AM

Also at 1 pm EST on the 10th, Metrix Connect, An ASME Company, will discuss how to “Get to Market Faster: Bridge Production with Additive Manufacturing.” A common pediatric procedure is the insertion of ear tubes, as well as the main reason for exposing children under three years old to general anesthesia, which can cause side effects and definitely costs more money since an OR is required. During the webinar, Andreas Deibel, VP of Operations and Development at Preceptis, and Drew Richardson, Sr. Technical Fellow at Resolution Medical, will talk with Emily Rose Williams, Business Development Director at Carbon, about how they worked together to use 3D printing and medical device manufacturing to bring an FDA-cleared system for ear tubes to market faster.

“Preceptis wanted to broaden the options available to ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctors and parents— focusing on the safety and comfort of the child while reducing healthcare costs. Working with Resolution Medical, Preceptis created the Hummingbird® Tympanostomy Tube System (TTS): a breakthrough technology enabling ENT surgeons to perform ear tube procedures in the comfort of the office without putting a child under general anesthesia.”
