Stratasys & Covestro Taking SLA to the Production Floor
At 2 pm EST on Tuesday, December 7th, Stratasys and Covestro are holding a joint webinar, “Bring Neo SL to the Production Floor,” focused on using the Stratasys SLA 3D printer and Covestro’s photopolymer materials together for production applications. Speakers JP Velasco, Senior Applications Engineer at Stratasys, and Eric Romano, Global Product Manager at Covestro, will discuss how these two can be used to print short-run, end-use production components that are less expensive, with shorter manufacturing timelines.
“There is a common misconception in the market that additively manufactured, photopolymer components are not serious considerations for functional, production applications. In this session, experts from Stratasys and Covestro will demonstrate how the combination of the new Neo printer and Covestro materials are the exceptions.”

TÜV SÜD Finishes Virtual Training Course with AM Design Validation
In April, TÜV SÜD launched a virtual training course, with two iterations each of eight different multi-day sessions on topics ranging from AM fundamentals and risk assessment to health and safety and industry standards. This week, the company will finish the course with “Design Validation in Additive Manufacturing,” this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, December 8-10, from 1 to 5 am EST. Focusing on how to design products for additive manufacturing, the course will cover topics including materials in established AM technologies, production tasks, a general overview of designing components for AM, approval and risk assessment, and more.
“Additive manufacturing enables engineers and designers to break new ground in product development. However, most companies do not yet have sufficient experience in this field: Which design rules must a 3D printed product have? How can the set requirements be met and the part functionality be assured? When is post processing needed and how should the post processing steps be implemented in AM?”
