3D Systems World Conference presenters named
3D Systems Corporation says that representatives from 3M, BMW Sauber and SC Johnson will give presentations on stereolithography to the global audience of the 3D Systems World Conference from 24-27 September 2007 in Rock Hill, SC, USA.
The 3M/Brontes Technologies presentation, to be given by Rob Nazzal and Patrick Dunne, will focus on breakthroughs in digital dentistry with 3D Systems' Stereolithography Technology. Their company has developed a chairside oral scanner that, when combined with 3D Systems' Viper Pro SLA System, replaces the use of plaster models poured from dental impressions.
Nazzal, who is responsible for product management and the development of services for Brontes Technologies, states: "Brontes Technologies' chairside oral scanner will change how dentists take impressions and how laboratories use them. Patrick and I will discuss how Brontes is enabling dental laboratories to make restorations from digital impressions."
3D Systems World Conference attendees will also get an exclusive look into automotive design with a class on how rapid manufacturing is driving aerodynamic development at BMW Sauber. Rolf Leuenberger, the head of rapid prototyping for the BMW Sauber F1 Team, will talk about using the Viper Pro SLA System in the development process.
Faster time to market will be the topic of a keynote address by Scott Schermer of SC Johnson. His talk, titled"Tomorrow's Not Soon Enough, will discuss how to cut prototyping turnaround times during product development to meet anticipated release dates.Schermer says: "I think my talk will change the way many people think about and apply additive technologies in the future."
The 3D Systems World Conference agenda (see website) is packed with exciting classes, extensive hands-on training sessions, dynamic presenters, comprehensive exhibits and plenty of valuable networking opportunities. The agenda covers every major global industry segment: aerospace, architecture, automotive, consumer goods and medical applications. The global attendees at the 3D Systems World Conference will share a common vision and passion to transform the way products are designed, developed and manufactured.
Qualified attendees pay no conference or registration fee, and food, in-town transportation and entertainment will be provided by 3D Systems.
