TechTalk - Fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing (AM)
Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is an technological advancement in manufacturing that uses CAD software or 3D object scanners to mechanically deposit layers of material in precise geometric shapes to create an object. This simple, yet complicated process enables the production of lighter, stronger part and systems for industry applications such as aerospace, medical, and automotive.
In this TechTalk webinar presented by Swagelok's senior material scientist, Dr. Bob Bianco, on Tuesday, June 15th at 11 am, you will learn about the benefits and limitations of additive manufacturing along with products and services where Swagelok can help.
A short Q&A will available the end of this 30-minute webinar.
Below is a short summary of topics that will be addressed during the webinar.
