Additive Manufacturing in the Medical Device Industry: Dispatches from the Field

The use of additive manufacturing (AM) in the medical device industry has gone from being exotic and “next gen” to routine. The potential benefits of additive manufacturing remain huge, as industrialized AM aligns perfectly with pressing needs in the medical industry: continuous improvement of therapies and diagnostics, the growing demand for personalization, and the need for rapid production to serve geographically-dispersed patient populations.

This webinar examines the current AM landscape, capabilities, and the Siemens digital solutions that support them. In addition, you’ll hear perspectives from industry representatives (including HP) on their vision for AM, the technologies they use, and practical examples of AM in the medical device industry.

The webinar covers:

• An overview of AM in the medical device industry, including a discussion of the obstacles posed by disconnected process chains, uncontrolled workflows, and others
• An overview of Siemens end-to-end software solutions for industrial AM
• Industry perspectives on AM from HP

Speakers:

• Jim Thompson, PhD, Senior Director, Medical & Lifescience Industry Strategy, Siemens PLM Software, Inc.
• Ashley Eckhoff, Marketing Manager, Siemens PLM Software, Inc.
• Luis Baldez, Head of 3D Printing Software Business, HP
