About the event
A focused session on Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM), where we break down the principles that unlock lighter, stronger, and more efficient parts. This session will explore how DFAM reshapes the way engineers approach geometry, performance, and manufacturability. Moving beyond traditional design constraints to fully leverage the capabilities of additive processes.
We’ll dive into lattice structures, topology optimization, part consolidation, and other advanced strategies that reduce weight, improve strength, and simplify assemblies. Attendees will see how these techniques translate into real‑world applications across aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial production, along with practical guidance on when and how to apply them effectively.
A great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals and learn how DFAM is driving the next generation of high‑performance, additively manufactured components.
