Though the use of metal in additive manufacturing (AM) is traditionally associated with lasers (such as in laser powder bed fusion), new metal printing solutions are continuously being developed. These new technologies can produce parts that are 30-50% lighter and can be mass customized to local markets, all while allowing for unprecedented levels of complexity. Notably, technologies like binder jetting will lead the charge in unlocking medium to large scale production, permanently altering the manufacturing landscape. This is especially true in the Balkans where, thanks to investment from major AM companies and leading service providers, AM is starting to transform a number of traditional industries.
3Dnatives’ webinar, “How is AM Revolutionizing Industry in the Balkans?” delved into the impact that AM has had in Southeast Europe. The webinar took place on July 15th at 4PM CEST (10AM EDT/5PM EEST) and 3Dnatives was joined by Desktop Metal, a leading AM manufacturer known especially for its innovative metal solutions, and Lino3DLab, a 3D printing laboratory in Greece. Attendees learned about this new generation of metal AM processes but also a number of other topics such as: exploring cutting edge applications and case studies in manufacturing, marine, molding education and R&D; and comparing and contrasting AM with CNC, MIM and casting. Notably, the webinar will show how AM is already being used (and how it can continue to be used) to change traditional industries in the Balkans.. At the end there was a Q&A.
