This talk will cover many aspects of 3D printing (also known as Additive Manufacturing or AM). We will discuss how different types of 3D printers work, the capabilities and limitations of these different types, and how they are used, from prototyping to production. We will also discuss new oportunities in "Niche Markets" opened by AM, particularly regarding high value low volume products, identifying several such products / markets as examples, Ever hear of "Mass Customization", or how "Complexity is free"? You will!
Come and learn about the miracle 3D printing is, where it came from, how it's fundimentally different from other methods of manufacturing, and perhaps gain some insight on where it's going.
Most of all, come to find out how 3D printing can help you Innovate Faster!
CY3D Printing ( http://www.cy3dprinting.com ) is a service provider making prototypes and production parts from Nylon using SLS AM technology. We are located on Lincoln Ave. here in Innovative Fort Collins and make parts for several local companies as well as for customers in Denver and out of state. Ken is also CEO of Cyclopital3D ( http://www.cy3dprinting.com ) a company that makes accesories for 3D cameras using AM technology for production. The use of AM for production at Cyclopital3D will also be discussed.
