3D Printing Webinar and Event Roundup: December 5, 2021

We’ve got another busy week of webinars and events to tell you about, with topics ranging from aviation and medical 3D printing to a town hall meeting, biomaterials, SLA technology, and more. Read on for all the details!

11th Aviation Forum Hamburg 2021

First up, nearly 160 exhibitors will descend upon Hamburg this week for the 2021 Aviation Forum, held December 7-8 with competence partners Airbus, the German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI), and Boeing. The event, under the banner “Aviation Reloaded,” is hybrid, so it you can’t make it to Hamburg in-person you won’t miss out. OEMs, suppliers, and manufacturers, thought leaders and political decision-makers are invited to come meet the aviation industry’s top managers and discuss new strategies and technologies and expand their networks with new partnerships. Two companies that will be attending the forum are Materialise and TÜV SÜD.

“At the Aviation Forum Hamburg, more than 750 decision-makers and experts from the aviation industry will meet to shape the new age of the aviation industry. Under the motto “Aviation Reloaded” new strategies, technologies and partnerships will be discussed to meet the new demands on aviation. After facing the biggest crisis the aviation industry has ever experienced, the industry needs to reposition itself and rethink old structures to prepare thoughtfully for a fresh start.”

Stratasys & Covestro Taking SLA to the Production Floor

At 2 pm EST on Tuesday, December 7th, Stratasys and Covestro are holding a joint webinar, “Bring Neo SL to the Production Floor,” focused on using the Stratasys SLA 3D printer and Covestro’s photopolymer materials together for production applications. Speakers JP Velasco, Senior Applications Engineer at Stratasys, and Eric Romano, Global Product Manager at Covestro, will discuss how these two can be used to print short-run, end-use production components that are less expensive, with shorter manufacturing timelines.

“There is a common misconception in the market that additively manufactured, photopolymer components are not serious considerations for functional, production applications. In this session, experts from Stratasys and Covestro will demonstrate how the combination of the new Neo printer and Covestro materials are the exceptions.”
