WEBINAR SERIES – Beyond Prototyping: Innovative AM Applications & Materials

Prototyping continues to be a core additive manufacturing application—but the tools and materials available today enable much more than concept modeling. In this webinar, Naftali Eder, Manager Application Engineering, will explore how advanced polymers and multi-material printing capabilities are enabling micron-level accuracy, functional strength, and aesthetic realism in a single build. We’ll also dive into the next frontier of prototyping innovation, like direct 3D printing on fabrics. Capabilities such as Smart Insert placement and Print-on-Objects are expanding what’s possible—from embedded components to seamless integration with textiles—redefining how prototypes are built and what they can do.

Additive tooling is transforming how manufacturers approach jigs, fixtures, and production aids. In this webinar, with Niccolò Giannelli, FDM Enablement Director, we’ll explore how carbon fiber-reinforced polymers are replacing metal in high-load applications—offering comparable performance at reduced weight and cost. Real-world case studies from automotive, aerospace, and heavy industry illustrate how teams are accelerating tooling lead times from weeks to hours. We’ll also discuss new software workflows that enable easy adoption without extensive AM experience, streamlining the path from design to factory floor.

Webinar #3 – From Prototypes to Production: AM Materials for Aerospace and Defense Innovation

Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly viable for production, proving its value for low volumes and customization, as well as high-performance applications. In this session, Gulay Bozoklu, Application Development Technical Service Manager, will focus on the aerospace and defense sectors, where material and process innovations are enabling production-ready parts with high thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance. We’ll explore high-accuracy silicon-based AM for sealing, FST or ESD compliant tooling and parts, connector components, and rapid tooling. Discover how engineers are achieving technical specs and business ROI for real-world deployment.

Webinar #4 – Maximizing AM Performance with Advanced Software Workflows

Additive manufacturing success depends not just on hardware and materials—but on software that enables precision, repeatability, and efficiency at scale. In this webinar, with Anirudh “Kumar” Krishnakumar, Senior Product Manager, we’ll explore how Stratasys’ advanced software platforms like GrabCAD Print™, GrabCAD Print Pro™, and OpenAM™ are optimizing AM workflows across industries. Learn how engineers are leveraging features like model-aware slicing, traceability, automated support generation, and open material parameter tuning to streamline operations and unlock new use cases—from prototyping to production.
