The Low-Volume Manufacturers Association is recommending that all its members and those interested in the RAPID industry register for the webcast scheduled for Wednesday, February 27, at 2 p.m. (EST)/ 11 a.m. (PST). RedEye RPM, the world's largest rapid prototyping and parts building service, is producing and hosting the one-hour webcast.
Carl Dekker, currently president of Met-L-Flo, Inc., a respected additive manufacturing service center, and a past chairperson of the SME's Rapid Technologies and Additive Manufacturing Community (RTAM), will be the featured presenter. Dekker will explore successful applications for direct digital manufacturing, including: non-critical, simple geometries; non-critical complex geometries; structural, non-critical parts; and high complexity, critical parts.
"This is a wonder, free educational opportunity that RedEye RPM is making available to everyone with an interest - or just a curiosity - about our industry," says Dean Rotbart, L-VMA founder and director. "RedEye is a leader in educating the RAPID industry when it comes to available and emerging technologies, as well as trends and best practices."
Jeff Hanson, RedEye's manager of business strategy and development, will serve as host of the webcast, which will include a Q&A period at the end of Dekker's remarks.
Dekker teaches the Rapid Technologies and Additive Manufacturing Technologies Certificate Programs and is a steering committee member and chair of RTAM's Direct Digital Manufacturing Tech Group.
Both RedEye and Met-L-Flo are active members in the Low-Volume Manufacturers Association, a volunteer organization dedicated to showcasing the benefits of rapid-prototyping, rapid-manufacturing and other emerging additive fabrication technologies.
