Happy Thanksgiving from the #RAPIDTCT family!

#DYK in 1984, Chuck Hull developed one of the first #3DPrinting technologies: stereolithography, the first of many revolutionary 3D printing moments! We join the #AdditiveManufacturing industry as it comes together to recognize the profound impact 3D printing has had across various industries. Some of the most influential experts in the 3D Printing space will join us for the RAPID + TCT Executive Perspectives #3DPrintingDay online event on December 3 at 11 a.m. Gain the latest insights from additive’s top movers and shakers and pitch them your questions in the Q&A. 👉 Save your seat! https://lnkd.in/gqcj8u4e

🔮🏗️ Should #AdditiveManufacturing companies focus on stabilizing current platforms or seek out solutions that will provide scale in the future? According to Charlie Grace, chief commercial officer & president of Nikon SLM Solutions, the answer is both. “Yes, we will continue to refine and perfect these machines, but we are also heavily investing in the future. We are pushing the boundaries of what our technology can do, and frankly our customers are asking us to do that.” Register to hear more from Charlie Grace and our other industry luminaries on December 3rd at 11 a.m. EST for an exclusive online event celebrating #3DPrintingDay: https://brnw.ch/21wOZDW #EP3D #RAPIDTCT

This week, we’re spotlighting how SpaceX uses 3D printing to power its innovations in aerospace and rocket manufacturing.

Is Consolidation the Key to Standardizing AM? Standardization in AM isn’t just a technical challenge, it’s an industry-wide opportunity. According to Yoav Stern, chief executive officer & member of the board of directors at Nano Dimension, consolidation among major players is the bridge to achieving this goal. “When leading companies collaborate, much like tech giants like Microsoft and Apple have done to integrate their ecosystems, it becomes easier to establish shared standards that drive broader adoption and interoperability," said Stern. Hear more from Yoav Stern and other industry luminaries! Join the RAPID + TCT Executive Perspectives #3DPrintingDay event live on December 3rd at 11 a.m. for a full discussion on the current and future state of AM. Don’t miss it!

XJet 3D is the only direct material jetting AM solution for metal and ceramics, at uncompromised quality and industrial capability. They've been exhibiting at #RAPIDTCT since 2016 and we look forward to seeing them in #Detroit!

The real breakthrough in #AdditiveManufacturing (AM) adoption lies in expanding its reach beyond niche applications to the broader manufacturing industry. Nils Niemeyer, general manager of DMG MORI USA, explains, “we’ve only scratched the surface. To drive real impact, we need to broaden our scope so we can pave the way for AM to become a transformative force across industries, reshaping how we design and produce at scale.” In celebration of National #3DPrintingDay, we invite you to join a RAPID + TCT Executive Perspectives 3D Printing Day online event powered by SME on December 3 at 11 a.m. to engage with Nils and other key AM industry leaders on a live panel where they’ll discuss the current state of AM.
