On this week’s episode of Additive Perception, Shannon VanDeren, President of the Additive Manufacturing Customers Group and President of Layered Manufacturing and Consulting, joins us as our newest Govt Interview visitor.
Forward of the 2024 AMUG Convention, the Distinguished INnovator Operators Award (DINO) recipient shares how her enthusiasm for additive manufacturing (AM) started at Materialise in 2010, ideas for getting probably the most out of this yr’s occasion (“Discuss to everyone!”), and her optimism for the way forward for 3D printing.
“In the event you return to the LEAP nozzle with GE. Did that generate enthusiasm and promise for additive or what? If we might get some actually grand success tales on the market, I feel that raises enthusiasm, and that does occur cyclically,” VanDeren mentioned on the way forward for AM. “Additive shouldn’t be excellent. Additive shouldn’t be the answer of all options. Additive shouldn’t be completed creating. It is not totally developed in the present day. We will not count on it to be, and thank God it isn’t totally developed! In any other case we might solely do what we’re already doing. Is not it great that that continues?”
The AMUG 2024 Convention will happen on 10-14th March at Hilton Chicago, Chicago, Illinois. This yr’s occasion will embrace keynotes from Jason Lopes, Director – Additive Manufacturing at Light Large Studios, and Olaf Diegel, Professor of Additive Manufacturing on the College of Auckland, and an Innovators Showcase presentation that includes steel additive manufacturing pioneer Greg Morris.
