3-3:25 pm
Using Additive Manufacturing
to Enhance Prototype Castings
Dave Rittmeyer, CAD Specialist/Pattern Maker, Hoosier Pattern
Product Design Considerations
Using Additive Manufacturing
10 am–3:30 pm
Additive manufacturing technologies are removing many of the
manufacturing restrictions that have compromised a designer’s
ability to make the product they imagined. Learn about new
product designs and designers who are blowing away old
“subtraction” thinking.
10–10:25 am
3D Printing’s Role in Product Development:
CaliBowl Case Study
Rich Stump, Principal, FATHOM
This presentation will provide a brief history of the product and
how 3D printing was instrumental in bringing the product to
market. Elaboration will be included on how the Objet 3D printer’s
high resolution, variety of materials, and speed affected the
development process. Related technologies will be discussed
such as 3D-printed injection mold tooling and how they will
contribute to manufacturing revolution. Also there will be
discussion on how 3D printing can help support manufacturing
jobs in the US and reduce the carbon footprint. In addition to the
current buzz surrounding the 3D printing industry, the case study
product is an award-winning, simple but revolutionary design that
many people can relate to.
10:30–10:55 am
A Process Workflow for Designing
Finished Parts for Additive Manufacturing
Matt T. Samperi, Research Assistant, Applied Research Lab,
Penn State University
Timothy W. Simpson, PhD, Professor of Mechanical & Industrial
Engineering, Penn State University
Sanjay B. Joshi, PhD, Professor of Industrial Engineering,
Penn State University
This presentation will provide a complete description of the
process workflow from a concept design to a finished part
using additive manufacturing. It will describe what options are
available at each step in the workflow and the design challenges
that arise in using AM to produce parts. Different AM methods
such as Optomec’s laser-based DDM system and EOS’s powder
bed technology will be examined for quality and capability in
the process workflow. The presentation will conclude with
suggestions for determining the best options at each step to end
with the desired finished product.
11–11:55 am
Panel Presentation
Moderator: Mark Adkins, Smart Hammer Innovation
Panel Participants:
Hahna Alexander, Sole Power LLC
David Demyan, MSA
Dan Pothala, Bayer MaterialScience
Paul Pritchard, PhD, Kennametal Inc.
Matt Schrauder, MEDRAD Inc.
This panel is composed of designers and engineers from some of
Pittsburgh’s leading manufacturers. The discussion will include
benefits and challenges of bringing additive manufacturing into
the new product development area. New designs that reduce part
count, lower labor cost, speed up assembly and increase part
strength are all potential benefits of additive manufacturing. Are
they being realized in today’s leading innovation organizations?
1–1:25 pm
Additive Manufacturing and Innovative Design:
Working “Hand in Glove” to Create the Next
Generation Products
Tom Pasterik, Design Engineer, ExOne Company
Turlif Vilbrandt, CTO, Uformia
Colin Chapman, Engineer, Applied Technology Integration
Currently, the process to design new products is being
challenged to leverage the freedoms that additive manufacturing
technology offers. No longer constrained with just using
subtractive manufacturing methods or fabrication techniques,
additive technologies offer an avenue to optimize designs
(reduce weight, change inertia, tailor stiffness, enhance thermal
properties, etc.) and enable designing for function, not just
designing for geometry.
