3D Printing News Unpeeled

Our Executive Editor Joris Peels, who’s also the Vice President of Consulting at Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR), offers a news livestream one to two times a week called 3D Printing News Unpeeled at 9:30 am EST. For each episode, Peels gets on LinkedIn Live and tells us, in 20 minutes or less, what he considers to be the top news stories from the 3D printing industry that week, and why they’re important. Some of the stories in his roundup are ones we’ve covered at 3DPrint.com, and some are not, but they are all equally interesting and impactful!

February 6 – 8: Additive Manufacturing Strategies 2024

The 7th annual Additive Manufacturing Strategies (AMS), produced by 3DPrint.com and Additive Manufacturing Research, will be held in New York City from February 6-8. This networking business summit welcomes AM stakeholders from around the world to discuss and learn about critical topics in the industry, including AM services, post-processing, the role of AM in oil, gas, and sustainable energy, paths to corporate growth, and many more. There will also be a session for start-up pitches, some great networking events (if you haven’t registered for the Women in 3D Printing NY Chapter Party, you’re missing out), and private meeting rooms to continue those important conversations.

“Bringing together the industry’s leaders in a contained networking environment makes AMS the place for startups to access capital, for financial institutions and investors to sharpen their radars, and for the AM industry to focus on the business of AM.”

You can register for AMS 2024 here. Bonus: the entire 3DPrint.com team will be onsite!

February 7: Siemens Additive Manufacturing Special Interest Group

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are meetings between people interested in a specific topic, giving them the chance to share information and knowledge. SIGs are a tradition at Siemens Digital Industries Software, and the company is continuing it with the new Siemens Additive Manufacturing Special Interest Group (AMSIG). Short sessions of AMSIG might include technology introductions or demonstrations of Siemens software, and presenters will include Siemens partners, employees, and customers. The first AMSIG session will be at 10 am EST on Wednesday, February 7th, and will give a brief introduction of SIGs, the chance to ask questions about the SIG, and a teaser of what to expect in future AMSIG sessions.

“The Siemens AMSIG will be, of course, focused on additive manufacturing and sessions will happen every two weeks for 30 minutes and will be recorded. Members of the SIG will have access to the recordings and will also have access to the various experts that will present during SIG sessions. Some sessions may also include special instruction using Siemens software. Siemens customers will also be able to follow along and learn new processes in these sessions, but we aim for these sessions to be valuable to a general audience as well.”

If you’re interested in joining, you can send an email to be be included on the mailing list, and be given calendar invites and links to future sessions.

February 7: Unlock the Power of ColdMetalFusion

For the second week in a row, Headmade Materials will host a free Nexa3D webinar about “Unleashing the Power of ColdMetalFusion with Expert Guidance,” at 11 am EST on Wednesday the 7th. Headmade’s metal AM technology, now available for Nexa3D’s QLS series printers, has the flexibility of 3D printing and the maturity and scalability of sintering, all of which adds up to a good industrial manufacturing solution. Attendees will learn design tips, explore the process chain behind CMF and advantages of the technology, and hear about some real-life applications across multiple industries.

February 2 – 11 & 9 – 18: Costco Wholesale Roadshow with FitMyFoot

Custom 3D printed insoles and sandals from FitMyFoot (FMF) are being featured at Costco warehouses across the Pacific Northwest, Los Angeles, and Southwest regions through March. These Wholesale Roadshows are staffed by FMF personnel who can help members with the foot scanning process at the stores. But, if members don’t feel like coming to the warehouse, they can also scan their feet at home using the FMF app, and order their 3D printed insoles and sandals that way. The FMF products are special order at the Costco Roadshows, and members will receive thier custom product within two weeks.

“Come visit us and one of our specialists will get you set up with 3D printed Custom Insoles made for your feet.”

Today is the last day FMF will be at the Kirkland, Washington store. You can also catch FMF during the Costco Wholesale Roadshow at the Cypress, California store from February 2-11, and the Lynnwood, Washington store from February 9-18. Stay tuned here for further dates and locations!
