December 3 – 5: Stratasys Continues Advanced Training

This week, Stratasys has one advanced training course to offer its EMEA customers. From December 3-5, “P3 Advanced Operations Training” will be offered to customers of the Origin One 3D printing system. This remote digital training can be completed from your workplace, but it is necessary to have access to laboratory supplies, an Origin One, 3D printing materials, and post-processing equipment. Attendees will have access to the instructor at the beginning and end of each day.

“This hands-on training experience is designed to equip users of the Origin One with advanced printing skills and knowledge. Topics covered include printing workflow, print preparation, support generation, dimensional accuracy, P3 Design for Addtive Manufacturing, troubleshooting, and using GrabCAD Print. Graduates of the training see their Origin printer skills and utilization advance several months in a matter of days.”

December 3: Medical Polymer 3D Printing Qualification

At 10 am EST on Tuesday, December 3rd, you can learn about “Navigating Qualification in Global Manufacturing of Medical Polymer 3D Printing.” It’s tough to prove the standardization of 3D printed parts in highly regulated industries, but the right partners can help set you apart from your competitors. EOS contract manufacturer and leading polymer service provider 3DPX, together with Prime Path Medtech and EOS Additive Minds, offers consultation and guidance to companies developing and qualifying parts like patient-specific surgical instruments, such as Belgium-based 3D-Side. In the webinar, speakers from these companies will discuss the step-by-step process to developing and qualifying your next 3D printed medical device, and share 3D-Side’s path to global AM production.

“Quality assurance (qualification) is critical to scaling and validating your additive manufacturing (AM) production, especially when it comes to highly-regulated industries like the medical field. Qualifying your part production, or in other words, proving the repeatability and standardization, is a challenging step to tackle. But the right partners can accelerate and even differentiate your product.”

December 3: Executive Perspectives on 3D Printing Day

To celebrate 3D Printing Day on December 3rd, join RAPID + TCT’s Executive Perspectives online event, produced by SME, at 11 am EST! Five global executives from the Executive Perspectives panel at RAPID 2024 in Los Angeles will reunite during this event to continue their discussion. Leaders from 3D Systems, Nikon SLM Solutions, Nexa3D, and more will be talking about everything from healthcare applications and increased sustainability to materials, scalable 3D printing solutions, optimizing reliability, and more. This curated content could help you transform your approach to AM, so why not listen in?

“Intricate geometries and unmanageable materials, once confined to imagination, are now brought to life, impacting industries like healthcare, aerospace, and mobility. The human impact of AM is here!”
