3/17/15 – 3D Printing has
been around for more than 25 years, but how is it being used in
manufacturing? How can it be used? Special Guest Terry Wohlers,
President of Wohlers Associates Inc. joins us at MFG Talk Radio to
discuss new developments and trends in rapid product development and
additive manufacturing. In their 28 year history, the Colorado-based
independent consulting firm has provided advice to 150 companies in the
investment community, most being institutional investors that represent
mutual funds, hedge funds, and private equity valued at billions of
dollars. In addition to these companies, Wohlers Associates’ past work
has involved over 240 client organizations in 24 countries around the
world.

Rick Lucas, Chief Technology Officer at ExOne will be on hand to talk
about two areas where 3D Printing is currently useful: R&D rapid
prototyping and replacement parts. Gain a sense of when/if 3D Printing
will become a production line volume technology or will it be limited to
R&D and replacement parts. 3D Printing will impact manufacturing in
many ways – learn how it might evolve in your shop.
