Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a fast-growing technology used for production of everything from medical implants to aerospace parts to machining tools. The technology frees design engineers from traditional manufacturing constraints, allowing them to optimize designs. Dr. Eric Johnson will detail development and use of Additive Manufacturing at an OEM. He will explain the processes, their applications and the material challenges/opportunities in this fast-growing technology. The presentation includes a tour of the Additive Manufacturing Lab where John Deere is actively researching processes, materials and applications for additive manufacturing.
