ASME to Offer Additive Manufacturing Events During LiveWorx Conference in BostonASME will hold several special workshops and sessions related to the subject of additive manufacturing one of the five core technologies the Society has identified as key to its overall strategy during the upcoming LiveWorx 18 Technology Conference in Boston. The conference, which will be held June 17-20 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, is expected to draw more than 7,000 engineers, designers and executives wishing to enhance their technical skills, learn about trends in the technology sector, and network with their colleagues and peers.One of these events, the Additive Manufacturing Leadership Forum, on the morning of Tuesday, June 19, will provide business executives from diverse sectors including aerospace, healthcare and medical devices, oil and gas, auto motive, metals and machinery with insight about how additive manufacturing (AM) is helping manufacturers and service providers transform their businesses, improve supply chains, rejuvenate their products and become more competitive. A panel of AM experts including top AM analyst Terry Wohlers, Alan Amling of supply chain giant UPS, Jay Rodgers of AM vehicle producer Local Motors, and speakers from Boeing, Stryker, Imperial and Paperless will help attendees start planning now for AMs impending impact on industry, understand AM best practices, and interact with other professionals who are encountering similar challenges. Registration for the forum is $295 using the code ASME18. For more information, or to register, visit https//additivemanufacturing.asme.org. (Left to right) Leading additive manufacturing (AM) analyst Terry Wohlers, Alan Amling of UPS, and Jay Rodgers of Local Motors will be among the AM experts participating in the Additive Manufacturing Leadership F orum on June 19.ASME will also host two three-hour Design for Additive Manufacturing Workshops on Wednesday, June 20. The first workshop, titled Metal Additive Manufacturing Foundation for Finding Value, will be a beginner-level session that will provide business operations and design engineers with a basic understanding of the value and opportunities that implementing metal AM at their companies can offer. Presented by Matt Burris, an entrepreneurial engineer and founder of MatterFab, the workshop will explore the various types of metal AM, supply chain and post-production issues, and the financial side of metal AM. The session, to be held from 930 a.m. to 1230 p.m., will also cover emerging technologies, trends, and metal AMs profil impact on manufacturing.A second beginner-level workshop, Metal Additive Manufacturing Design Considerations, will be presented later that afternoon by Tim Simpson, director of the additive manufacturing and design masters degree program and co-direc tor of the CIMP-3D lab at Penn State University. During the session, which will take place from 130 p.m. to 430 p.m., Dr. Simpson will talk about some of his experiences working in field of additive manufacturing and offer attendees advice and a step-by-step checklist to help prepare them for 3D printing their designs with metal.Registration for each of the ASME workshops is $300 using the code ASME18.
