- companies involved in prototyping, serial production, or traditional tooling
- pattern shops interested in integrating 3D printing, 3D scanning, and CAD into their workflow
The goal is to provide practical and actionable content, valuable both for those at the beginning of their digitalization journey and for those who have already started an innovation process.
Main topics, speakers, and guests
During the Expert Talk, the following topics will be discussed with a practical and operational approach:
- sand 3D printing (Binder Jetting) as a driver for a digital, flexible, and sustainable foundry process
- 3D scanning to digitalize complex geometries, create structured digital archives, and speed up quotations and reorders
- CAD and redesign: how to prioritize digitalization and correctly design for additive manufacturing
- the evolving role of the pattern maker in the digital context: new skills and integrated collaboration
- integration between foundry operations, design, and additive technologies
All content will be presented live by the speakers at the ZEISS headquarters in Novara.
