| 5 Must-Have Tools for Successful 3D Printing Build Preparation |
|
Software that comes with industrial 3D printers often includes efficient tools for slicing models for additive manufacturing. However, there’s more to successful build preparation than simply slicing a part.
In this webinar, we’ll review 5 features of Autodesk Netfabb you won’t find in the software that came with your 3D printer, and demonstrate how these tools can help you get more from your equipment. We’ll also explore how these tools can reduce the time needed to prepare parts for printing.

| How to Streamline Manufacturing ... with Tape? |
|
Time is money … especially on the production floor. In the “2017 National Manufacturing Outlook and Insights Strategies to Overcome the Headwinds” survey of manufacturing executives, nearly half said that cutting operational costs was a top priority. One key method for achieving that goal is to speed up the assembly process, thereby reducing the need for hard-to-find specialty workers and the costs associated with overtime to meet tight deadlines.
The question is how?

| HP Reinvents with 3D Printing Technology |
|
| By using 3D printing, manufacturers are able to design for performance instead of struggling with the traditional limitations of designing for manufacturing and assembly. Additive manufacturing enabled them to accomplish what would not have been possible using other techniques. The resulting part was lighter and less expensive, but as reliable as the old version.

| Not Just a Sneaker Fad, Futurecraft 4D Ushers in Era of Customized 3D Printed Products |
|
| Adidas Running Shoe Futurecraft 4D has a flexible lattice sole made by Digital Light Synthesis, a technique in which an object is “chiseled” by light, emerging from a liquid resin in a 3D printer. In 2015, the technology from Carbon became public with a TED talk by Joe DeSimone, a scientist and entrepreneur, and a paper published in the journal Science.

| Unlock the Full Potential of 3D Printing |
|
To reinvent 3D printing, HP engineers went to the very core of 3D printing science - the voxel. Think pixel, but in a 3D space. Unlike conventional 3D printing, transforming part properties voxel by voxel allows for fully functional prototypes and final parts today and limitless applications for the future.
