Setting the Stage…
▪ Forget everything you know about plastic 3D printing
▪ AM = Additive Manufacturing
▪ AM = 3D Printing
▪ Sintering
▪ Don’t hesitate to ask questions!

Directed Energy Deposition (DED)
Advantages
▪ Fast builds with rapid
material deposition
▪ Fully dense parts
▪ No need for supports
Disadvantages
▪ Poor surface finish
▪ Wire less accurate
▪ Significant post processing

Material Jetting
Advantages
▪ Nanoscale = high resolution
▪ No loose powder,
easier/safer to handle
▪ Very nice surface finish
Disadvantages
▪ Expensive, slow process
▪ Small parts

3DEO, Inc. © 2018
False start around 2012

20.

3DEO, Inc. © 2018
This time, the hype is (mostly) real

21.
21
3DEO, Inc. © 2018
Why AM will fundamentally change mfg.
▪ New, previously impossible designs
▪ Design for FUNCTION
▪ Mass customization
▪ Parts consolidation, light-weighting, internal channels
▪ On-demand manufacturing
▪ Eliminates inventory, supply chain becomes “demand chain”
▪ Low lead time, immediate turnaround
▪ FAST innovation / product development

Part Consolidation
Previously 20 pieces, now 1; 25% lighter, 5x stronger

24.

3DEO, Inc. © 2018
Combination of consolidation & function
20% less fuel, 5% lower weight, 855 parts → 12 parts

Broad 3D Printing
Industry Trends

28.
28
3DEO, Inc. © 2018
Explosion of different types of 3D printing
▪ Plastics & metals, of course
▪ Organs?!?
▪ Food: Chocolate & Pancakes
▪ Real estate – entire homes!

Broad adoption is at an inflection point

30.
30
3DEO, Inc. © 2018
This is the year of metal
▪ 80% increase in sales of metal AM machine in ’17
(1,768 machines)

31.

Main Trend: Focus on Production
▪ Until now, 3D printing has been prototyping tech
▪ Every 3D printer wants to get into production
▪ What’s missing?
▪ Scalability of tech
▪ Consistent part quality
▪ Reduce the cost of parts

32.
32
3DEO, Inc. © 2018
Scalability of technology
▪ Different approaches
▪ Parallel manufacturing - 3D Systems Figure Four
▪ New technologies

33.
33
3DEO, Inc. © 2018
Consistent Part quality
▪ Verifying part quality can be 40-50% of part cost
▪ Terabytes of data generated in a build
▪ How can we be sure the build is good?

34.
34

reduce the cost of parts
▪ Part cost breaks down to four main components:
▪ Machine time
▪ Materials cost
▪ Labor cost
▪ Secondary operations

35.
35
3DEO, Inc. © 2018
Flood of New Entrants
▪ FDM & Binder Jetting patents expired
▪ MANY new METAL companies
▪ Stealth technologies – many innovations in the works

36.

3DEO, Inc. © 2018
Dose of Reality
▪ Previously – “3D Printing will take over
manufacturing!”
▪ Now – “3D printing will be one of many tools in the
toolkit!”
▪ We better understand where 3D printing fits, and
applications that make real business sense

37.
