Presentation of the event
PANEL DISCUSSION #1 - How Polymer AM is Transforming Medicine Today
With 3D printed implants, surgical planning tools and training models, polymer AM is driving a new era of precision in healthcare. How might these technologies transform patient care in the years ahead?
Moderator: Sherri Monroe - Executive Director (AMGTA)
Speakers: Liam Krueger - 3D printed pharmaceuticals PhD candidate (University of Queensland),
Gabe Linke - 3D Imaging and Advanced Visualization Manager (Children's Nebraska), Daniel Seiler - Laboratory Leader Medical Additive Manufacturing (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland)
WORKSHOP #1 - Iterate Less, Achieve More: Simulation in Polymer 3D Printing | Discover how simulation cuts development cycles and improves outcomes.
Discover how simulation enables groundbreaking applications in polymer additive manufacturing. In this expert-led session by EOS, you'll explore real-world success stories—like a plastic valve replacing a metal part under 30-bar pressure in the oil & gas industry, and how topology optimization makes production tools like grippers lighter, more cost-effective, and easier to produce. Learn how Additive Minds consultants help turn complex production challenges into scalable solutions and maximize the potential of 3D printing.
Moderator: Melanie Wallet - Content Director (3Dnatives)
Speakers: Dominik Sippel - Additive Minds Consultant Polymer (EOS GmbH), Anekant Jain – Manager, Polymer Technology (EOS North America)
PANEL DISCUSSION #2 - Inside Composite 3D Printing: Advancing Industrial Performance
Composite 3D printing is unlocking lighter, stronger and more durable parts for industries from aerospace
to automotive. What new applications and advantages could this bring to manufacturers worldwide?
Moderator: Gil Lavi - CEO (3D Alliances)
Speakers: Dr. Seokpum Kim - Senior R&D Scientist (Oak Ridge National Laboratory),
Prof. Kelvin Fu - Assistant Professor (University Of Delaware), José Rui Capitão - Customer Success Manager (3devo)
WORKSHOP #2 - Built to Endure: Real-World DFAM Lessons for High-Temp Additive Manufacturing
What strategies help engineers turn complex CAD models into durable, functional parts? This webinar explores practical DFAM approaches for high-performance 3D printing, from design to production, enabling manufacturers to unlock the full potential of additive manufacturing.
Moderator: Melanie Wallet - Content Director (3Dnatives)
Speakers: Robert Lent - Chief Operating Officer (Vision Miner), Nazar Vlasenko - Chief Technical Officer (Vision Miner)
PANEL DISCUSSION #3 - Shaping Tomorrow: Emerging Trends in Polymer Additive Manufacturing
From early prototyping to today’s final-part production, polymer additive manufacturing is reaching new levels of maturity. Which innovations and market forces are setting the pace for what comes next?
Moderator: Michael John Sweers - Founder (More Than Layers)
Speakers: Lionel Ridosz - Additive Manufacturing Director (Safran), Richard Wooldridge - CEO (Raplas Technologies Ltd), Christian Seidel - Strategic Implementation Consultant (Wohlers Associates, Powered by ASTM International).
