POSTPONED – Just Because You “CAN” 3D Print Something, Doesn’t Mean You “SHOULD”

NOTE: This event has been temporarily POSTPONED – a new date will be announced soon.

With the widespread use of very clever marketing, it would seem that 3D printing can solve all of your problems…The reality of industrial Additive Manufacturing (3D printing for real parts) is that learning how to leverage any new technology requires investment in people, equipment and new tools.

Understanding the levers that make 3D printing valuable is the key to a successful ROI. Let’s dive into the reality of 3D printing.
