RAPID + TCT to Tackle the Industrialization of Additive Manufacturing in First Session of Inaugural Executive Perspectives Keynote Series

By: via GlobeNewswire

LOS ANGELES, June 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RAPID + TCT, North America’s largest additive manufacturing (AM) and industrial 3D-printing event, will open its 2024 edition with a panel discussion exploring the industry's hottest topics including the industrialization of AM. The session will be the first in the new Executive Perspectives Keynote Series, which will launch at RAPID + TCT this year. RAPID + TCT 2024 is produced by SME and UK-based Rapid News Publications Ltd., owners of TCT, and will take place in Los Angeles from June 25-27.

The Executive Panel Discussion will be presented on June 25 at 8:30 a.m. on the Main Stage and will feature the first five of 15 thought leaders from the AM industry participating in the keynotes series:

  • Charlie Grace, CCO and President of the Americas, Nikon SLM Solutions
  • Jeffrey Graves, PhD, President and CEO, 3D Systems
  • Marie Langer, CEO, EOS
  • Yoav Stern, CEO and Member of the Board of Directors, Nano Dimension
  • Yoav Zeif, PhD, CEO, Stratasys

During the conversation, the group will examine the critical importance of moving to full-scale production, how the technology convergences are impacting AM along with some bleeding-edge applications, including where the industry is taking us on in the world of 3D biologics. Laura Griffiths, head of content at The TCT Group, will moderate the session.

“The industrialization of AM is driving the shift toward serial production. While the technology was once confined to one-off prototyping, jigs and fixtures, it’s increasingly making its way into end-use applications,” said Griffiths. “By platforming global leaders from AM, which are at the forefront of that evolution, this conversation will give attendees a deeper understanding of how they can leverage AM to manufacture at scale.”

In total, the Executive Perspectives Keynote Series will bring together 15 influential industry leaders. Over three days, speakers will address the most pressing topics in AM, including the convergence of AI and automation, serial production, the impact of AM on the supply chain and AM’s relationship to sustainability.

“For more than 30 years, RAPID + TCT has been setting the pace for innovation in the AM and industrial 3D-printing industry,” said Robert “Bob” Willig, executive director and CEO of SME. “The Executive Perspectives Keynote Series is the latest in a long line of initiatives designed to foster progress and collaboration in the additive industry. By providing direct insight into how leading organizations are putting industrial 3D printing to work, we’re arming our attendees with the tools and context they need to remain competitive in their respective sectors.”
