March 22: Open Material License for Stratasys

In its second webinar of the week, TriMech will present on the “Open Material License and Validated Materials on the Stratasys Fortus 450mc Printer” at 10 am EST on Wednesday, March 22nd. Stratasys FDM printers are accurate, durable, and consistent, but adding new materials to its lineup has always come at a slow pace. TriMech’s Solutions Consultant – Additive, Rich Annino, will discuss open material licenses and validated materials that are currently available to use with the company’s Fortus 450mc 3D printers. Attendees will also learn what the new OpenAM Program is, and what it can do for them.

“Stratasys chooses not to rush the release of new materials, and instead waits until they are perfectly tuned for running on the intended platform.

“Now, with the Validated Material lineup, we are poised to see an explosion in material offerings from Stratasys FDM, and the new OpenAM Program that was released on the Fortus 450mc. It enables users to tweak and tune ANY material that they would like to run on their system!”

March 23: 3D Printing for Orthopedic Care

The latest panel discussion by 3DHEALS will take place at 11 am EST on the 23rd, and focus on “3D Printing for Orthopedic Care.” Moderated by 3DHEALS Founder and CEO Dr. Jenny Chen, the speakers will be Professor Frédéric Schuind, Founder and CEO of medtech company Spirecut; Dr. Brett Carey, CEO of Kalo Multispeciality Group; Ryan Harold, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with the Illinois Bone & Joint Institute; Ruben Wauthle, CEO and Co-Founder of Amnovis; and David Jansen, CEO of SAIL Fusion. The orthopedic care field is one of the earliest and biggest adopters of 3D printing, so it’s sure to be an interesting discussion.

“3D-printed orthopedic solutions can be used to create customized implants and prostheses that are a perfect fit for each patient. This not only results in a better fit and more comfortable device, but it also leads to potentially faster healing times and longer durability. 3D printing presurgical planning either using anatomical models or surgical guides is now routinely used in the operating room. In this upcoming webinar, we primarily focus on orthopedic surgical care from several different perspectives. In a future webinar in April, we will focus on 3D printing or bioprinting bone tissue using tissue engineering techniques. The commercialization and regulatory pathways for 3D-printed orthopedic implants are approaching maturity, with industry leaders like Stryker, JNJ, and more continuing to expand their 3D printing product and service portfolio. Naturally, this is an active area of innovations and entrepreneurial activities, and investments, since short-term favorable exit is more likely compared to other applications. Join us for an intimate and engaging conversation with a world-class panel with diverse backgrounds and knowledge bases in this energetic 90 minutes virtual event on our Event Hub.”
