ConferenCe Details
This presentation will focus on 3D printing using binder-jetting
technology, via volume mathematics as the design platform,
to produce innovative designs in metal that heretofore where
unattainable. This new generation 3D volume modeling
platform, which uses real, or true, volume modeling, unlike
traditional industrial approaches that are based on meshes,
parametric surfaces or voxels, will be utilized to make metal
cellular lattice structures.
the processes, as well as the most common materials will be
discussed. Samples will be handed out to the audience.
2:30–2:55 pm
Legal and Policy Issues Connected
to Consumer Use of 3D Printing
Michael Weinberg, Vice President,
Institute for Emerging Innovation, Public Knowledge
1:30–1:55 pm
Using 3D-Color Coding to Communicate Design Intent
Vito Gervasi, Director, R&D, RPR, Milwaukee School of Engineering
Over the past decade color 3D printing has become part of the
fabric of NPD in many companies. Its use for conveying more
than geometric information has also been leveraged in producing
communication models with attributes such as atomic CPK
coloring, FEA analysis results, cellular structure, topographical
mapping of planetary surfaces, and the list goes on. Recently,
as a result of facing a challenging design communication task
on a multi-colored, multi-insert, multi-shot molecule design,
the presenter determined color-coding would be the preferred
method for conveying design intent for many engineering
designs. This presentation will present our survey findings
to-date on color-coding activities and present examples of how
to use several proposed standards developed at MSOE. Case
studies will be examined in more detail and some color-coding
challenges and thought-processes will also be presented.
2–2:25 pm
How to Design for Additive Manufacturing
Technology Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)
Adam Galloway, VP Sales & Marketing,
GPI Prototype and Manufacturing Services Inc.
As AM moves beyond large commercial/industrial applications
and toward consumer markets, it is likely to receive increased
scrutiny from policymakers and other, potentially “disrupted,”
industries. The AM community will need to become familiar
with legal and policy challenges that are well known to the
internet and consumer electronics industry, such as copyright,
digital rights management, and liability for user actions. Public
Knowledge is a nonprofit consumer rights organization based in
Washington, DC that has been focusing on these issues for over
a decade. The goal of this talk is to begin to share what we are
currently doing and to sketch out a roadmap for the future.
3 – 3:25 pm
Intellectual Property Issues
in Additive Manufacturing
William J. Cass, Partner/Attorney, Cantor Colburn LLP
Intellectual property is a key component in the development
of new products and inventions in additive manufacturing.
Determining the intellectual property rights to a new design or
method at the start of a project is a critical step. Common forms
of intellectual property protection, such as contracts, patents,
trademarks and copyrights, will be reviewed. Potential pitfalls and
how to avoid them (in the context of additive manufacturing) will
also be discussed.
The presentation will start with a brief overview of the following
additive processes: DMLS, SLA, SLS, FDM, and 3D printing
including Objet and ZCorp. The presentation will then move into
the accuracy of the processes compared to one another. Finally,
it will show different examples of parts and their failures which
will also include how to design for the process. The design will
include prototype tolerances and then additive manufacturing
with a main focus on DMLS (complex geometries, internal
passageways and much more). Pros and cons for each of
