Velo3D Announces Metal AM Education Roadshow
The Proof is in the Printing Additive Manufacturing Tour features half-day events that include presentations from Velo3D leadership team members, partners and customers.
Velo3D Inc. has announced its 2023 roadshow, the Proof is in the Printing Additive Manufacturing Tour, which will visit eight cities across the U.S. The tour builds on Velo3D’s previous roadshow series that brought together more than 400 engineers around the U.S. to learn about how metal additive manufacturing (AM) can transform their businesses.
“Over the past year, we’ve heard a lot of skepticism about whether metal additive manufacturing can truly deliver consistency at scale across different machines without extensive requalification,” says Renette Youssef, Velo3D chief marketing officer. “This year’s roadshows will focus on sharing real-world examples of companies that have qualified parts for production use-cases and achieved scalability across different 3D printers to create distributed supply chains. The events are a great way to learn about 3D printing and network with other engineers who are exploring the same technology.”
Velo3D piloted its roadshow program in 2021. Each roadshow is a half-day event that includes presentations from Velo3D leadership team members, partners and customers.
By attending, engineers can hear how other companies are using metal AM to produce parts and qualify them for use with the Velo3D AM solution. Presentations will also discuss how to optimize the AM process to produce performance parts and increase throughput.
Tour dates have been scheduled for the following cities:
- Phoenix, Arizona: March 29, 2023
- Denver, Colorado: April 27, 2023
- Houston, Texas: May 17, 2023
- Jupiter, Florida: June 15, 2023
- Long Beach, California: August 17, 2023
- Detroit, Michigan: September 20, 2023
- Fremont, California: October 19, 2023
- Cincinnati, Ohio: November 2023 (date TBD)
Dates will be announced for roadshow events in Europe and Asia. Velo3D’s distribution partner GoEngineer will also host a roadshow in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“If you have struggled to go into production with high-quality, additively manufactured metal parts, this roadshow lays down the groundwork to speed up and simplify the process,” says Josh Brown, GoEngineer director of metal AM. “Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to utilize metal additive manufacturing for their mission-critical parts and qualify them for production use.”
