WORKSHOPS: Practical Lessons for Engineers Who Need Additive to Deliver

Are you an engineer or manufacturer looking to get more out of additive manufacturing (AM)? Whether you’re designing prototypes, optimizing tooling or scaling production, this workshop series is for you. From June 23rd to 27th, 3Dnatives and Stratasys are teaming up to bring you five expert-led online sessions focused on delivering real, practical value from 3D printing.
Titled “Practical Lessons for Engineers Who Need Additive to Deliver,” this five-part series features short sessions that tackle the real-world challenges of working with AM—from prototyping and tooling to full-scale production. Each session runs for just 30 minutes and goes live daily at 10:30 AM EDT / 4:30 PM CEST. If you attend all five, you’ll receive a Certificate of Attendance to recognize your participation and knowledge of advanced AM strategies. Don’t miss it, register now for free HERE.
A Week of Focused, Actionable Learning: Agenda and Speakers
Monday, June 23 – Stop Compromising on Prototypes: 3D Print Across All Product Development Stages
Why choose between function and appearance? In this session, Daniel Princ, Director of Global Sales Enablement, delves into how technologies like PolyJet, FDM and SLA enable engineers and designers to create prototypes that both perform and impress—accelerating iteration, validation and client approval.
Tuesday, June 24 – Smarter Tooling with 3D Printing: What Works, What Doesn’t, and How to Start
Dave Hayden, a Mechanical and Global Application Engineer with 11+ years of experience, shares practical do’s and don’ts for 3D printed tooling. Learn how to reduce lead times, lighten parts and identify opportunities across your production floor.
Wednesday, June 25 – Unlocking Production Potential: Materials, Systems, and Certification Advances
Additive isn’t just for prototyping anymore. In this session, Niccolo Giannelli, Director FDM Enablement, explores how FDM is being used to produce end-use parts with certified materials, open systems and the standards required for production in regulated industries.
Thursday, June 26 – Specialty Materials for the Most Demanding Applications
If your parts need to withstand heat, UV, chemicals or static, this session is for you. Gulay Bozoklu, Lead Application Engineer, will explore Stratasys’ portfolio of engineered polymers—from ESD-safe to FST-rated materials—and share how they’re being used in connector and machine components.
Friday, June 27 – Turning Waste into Parts and Profit
The final session addresses one of the biggest challenges in powder-bed 3D printing: unused PA12 powder. Learn with Steven Goodwin, Senior Corporate Application Engineer, how Stratasys’ SAF ReLife process makes it possible to reuse that material and produce new parts—at virtually no cost.
Why Attend?
If you work in product development, manufacturing, or process engineering, and you’re looking to do more with additive, this workshop series was built for you. You’ll hear directly from experts, get real examples of AM success, and leave with new ideas to apply in your own work.
