11-11:30 a.m. Presentation Showcase
Additive and Conventional Manufacturing, a Smart Combination
Frank Geyer, product manager-additive manufacturing, Trumpf
Combining the promise and design free- dom of metal AM with the well-known advantages of conventional manufacturing yields efficiencies and capabilities that tran- scend what each can deliver alone. Find out how metal AM and conventional manufac- turing can complement each other.
11:30 a.m.-Noon Presentation Showcase
Defining the Next Chapter in
3D Printing: Mass Customization, Agile Manufacturing
Jennifer Milne, applications engineering lead, Formlabs
3D printing has crossed a threshold, with reliable machines, advanced mate- rials and wide adoption of the technology by CAD users across industries. As we enter a new chapter in 3D-printing history, moving rapidly toward a digital, highly customized manufacturing landscape, what’s next? This presentation takes a look at where we’re heading.
2-3 p.m.
Expert Panel Presentation
Hybrid Additive Manufacturing: The Future of Metal Parts Production?
Moderator: Debbie Holton, vice presi- dent of events and industry strategy, SME David Fischer, lathe product specialist,
Okuma
Frank Geyer, product manager-additive
manufacturing, Trumpf
Jason Jones, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO,
Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies
Since its inception, a gap has existed between AM and traditional subtractive manufacturing. In recent years, many machining companies have opened their
minds to the idea of integrating these two processes together, enabling designers to make product enhancements, increase production time and make cost-efficient machines that do both. Panelists will dis- cuss the development of hybrid additive machines and how it will impact manu- facturing in the future.

Evolution of Additive Manufacturing and What it Means for the Fabrication Industry
Todd Grimm, president, T. A. Grimm & Associates, Inc.
What does 3D-printing technology mean for the manufacturing industry? How should we prepare for the future? Industry expert and 3D Metal Printing contributor Todd Grimm will explore these questions and describe the impact that AM has, and will continue to have, on manufacturing in general and how companies can embrace AM in their operations.
11:30 a.m.-Noon Presentation Showcase
3D Printing at a Crossroads:
How Metal Printing at Scale
Will Change the Manufacturing Landscape Over the Next 5 Years
Greg Mark, CEO, Markforged
3D printing has for many years helped speed innovation across multiple indus- tries with prototyping and modeling. Its ability to remove inefficiencies in produc- tion-line turnover, decrease costs and reduce time to market for new products are well-known and understood. Still, solid investment returns from widespread adoption come when printing disrupts traditional manufacturing. By creating customized products and parts in a range of industries from medical to aerospace, 3D printing can solve a range of diverse and particular industry challenges in a way never before possible.
The speaker will share both his current perspective on the industry and examples
FABTECH 3D of 3D printing’s power to improve our
lives and world.
Noon-1 p.m. Presentation Showcase
Designing for 3D Printing & the Complexity Paradox
Greg Paulsen, director of applications engineering, Xometry
To best design for AM, you must know a bit about how parts have been designed and made in the past. Paulsen will pres- ent an overview of the most common additive and subtractive custom manu- facturing technologies, how they are used and some best practices when designing for manufacturability.
2-3 p.m.
Expert Panel Presentation
