3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing

Empowering Manufacturers Through Additive Manufacturing

ImplementAM, a subsidiary of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), is on a mission: to empower manufacturers to improve their processes through implementing additive manufacturing and 3D printing. 

More manufacturers are turning to additive manufacturing to ensure consistent outcomes. But many may not fully grasp how or why they should incorporate it into their processes. If you’re continuously hitting roadblocks, production is slow, or you’re stuck with outdated technologies, additive manufacturing offers solutions. Utilizing it can help your processes by producing complex parts, reducing material waste, customizing products, boosting supply chain efficiencies, and enabling low-volume production. By leveraging these capabilities, you can overcome many manufacturing challenges. 

ImplementAM to the Rescue

ImplementAM workshops, which take place in multiple U.S. cities, offer practical knowledge about additive manufacturing and its integration into systems. Using a hands-on approach, ImplementAM workshops focus on the strategic foundations of additive manufacturing, providing a collaborative setting for attendees. 

Near Atlanta, GA?

Whether you’re 3D printing curious or need a solution now, join ImplementAM’s next event in Atlanta on Wednesday, April 24th. For $95 you can experience additive manufacturing in action. Expert speakers, including end-users, 3D printing machine OEMs, software providers, and service bureaus, offer presentations valuable across industries like automotive, aerospace, medical, or consumer products. 

The day starts with a tour of Endeavor 3D, a Georgia-based additive manufacturing solutions provider, specializing in product design, production, post-processing, and quality assurance. The tour will highlight how additive manufacturing and 3D printing are used in multiple applications. 

After the tour, the day will continue at Endeavor 3D, with speakers covering several topics, providing multiple opportunities so you can gain firsthand experience. Speakers include: 

  • Kevin Carr, MasterGraphics, Internal Selling of Your AM Products
  • Daniel Baker, Endeavor 3D, Automation Workflow for Polymer Production
  • Justin Hopkins, HP
  • David Tucker, ImplementAM, AM Innovation for Product Value Creation

After Endeavor 3D, you’ll meet at nearby Frog Rock Brewing Company to participate in a keynote presentation by Derek McCurry, owner of Stubby Nozzle Co., who will share how he operates a 3D print farm to manufacture his company’s products. There will also be a happy hour where you can network with experts and additive manufacturing adopters. The event aims to leave you with a stronger local network and the foundation to implement additive manufacturing immediately.
