本月晚些时候Additive Manufacturing Users Group（AMUG）将返回2020年年度会议。现在已经进入第32年了已成为AM日历上的亮点；这是来自AM世界各地的专家和领导者的聚会点，可以在3D打印中提供和分享有价值的见解和经验。AMUG会议向用于专业目的的工业增材制造技术的所有者和运营商开放。雷电竞充值
为期五天的活动将于2020年3月22日至2020年3月26日在伊利诺伊州的芝加哥举行。这次会议是与会人员通过AM行业专家的教育和培训课程以及每天举行的主题演讲者的深入演讲的机会。与会者还可以与AMUG网络成员见面并讨论，包括在3D印刷行业拥有多年经验的用户，将工程师，设计师，经理和教育工作者汇集在一起。
Ahead of the event, AMUG has announced its line-up of keynote speakers. This year, presentations include those from James Hobson, a.ka. The Hacksmith on YouTube, and CEO of Hacksmith Entertainment; Dr. Hans Langer, Founder of EOS; and Jonathan Morris, MD, of the Mayo Clinic. 3D Printing Industry spoke with the keynote speakers to find out more about their upcoming presentations for AMUG 2020.
詹姆斯·霍布森, the Hacksmith, Hacksmith Entertainment
詹姆斯·霍布森is best known for his YouTube channel“ hacksmith”, where he takes fictional ideas from movies, video games and the world of comics, and attempts to make them into real working prototypes. Hobson has been using 3D printing to bring his projects to life for over six years now; the technology has proved integral for a number of his replicas, including the Particle Cannon from Blizzard’s popular FPS Overwatch: “One of our biggest 3D printed projects was aZarya大炮的工作复制品，内部有80W CO2激光。”霍布森解释说。“它的尺寸将近4英尺，并且由于它是一个单一的原型，因此3D打印是唯一的选择，除了手工完全雕刻它外，考虑到内部所有精确的电子组件，这将很难。”
Hobson has extensive experience in 3D printing, and so will have much to share in his keynote. He is a previous attendee of AMUG, having first visited the event in 2015: “My first visit to AMUG was back in 2015 when I was working for Christie Digital as a young engineer excited about 3D printing — it was fascinating to see where the technology was headed. 5 years later, I run my own company, have over a dozen 3D printers in our rapid prototyping lab, and have a team of engineers prototyping fictional technology for the world to see.”
霍布森周二将提供他的主题24 March, from 9am to 10am. Additional presentations to consider for this day are “Boeing Additive Manufacturing” by Dr. Melissa Orme, of The Boeing Company, and “An Automotive Perspective on the Materials Development and Verification Pipeline” by Matthew Cassoli and Giuseppe Lacaria of Ford Motor Company.
EOS的创始人Hans Langer博士，创新者展示柜
汉斯·兰格（Hans Langer）博士是德国3D打印机OEM EOS的创始人，他于1989年成立了该公司。EOS此后已逐渐成为全球添加剂制造市场中的主要名称，因此他的演讲将集中在推动行业的创新上。雷电竞充值去年，兰格博士被授予Outstanding Contribution to 3D Printingaccolade at the 2019 3D Printing Industry Awards.
Discussing what’s in store for 3D printing in the next decade, Dr. Langer sees digitization pervading through most AM businesses: “What we all see is that digitalization is and will in the future increasingly dominate all parts of business – and production in particular. AM, as a digital production process, is one of the key drivers here. In such a business environment, embracing digital technologies such as AM for companies translates into staying competitive in the future.”
In specific regards to EOS, the next decade will bring further focus on sustainability, a key goal for the company as outlined by EOS’recently appointed CEO Marie Langer，兰格博士的女儿。
“Sustainability will be another key driver for our customer and for our industry in the future,” explains Dr. Langer. “By its very nature, AM is sustainable by delivering new resource efficiencies, lightweight designs, longer product life, reconfigured value chains, and inventory waste reduction. At the same time, for EOS additive manufacturing is and will always be responsible manufacturing – and we will actively pursue further sustainability efforts as we progress.”
“Another major development is the fact that we are now able to use materials for powder-based AM that need substantially less energy (around -90%) during the powder production process, at the same time enabling a substantially higher productivity of the AM build process.”
汉斯·兰格博士’s presentation will take place on Wednesday 25 March, from 9am to 10am. Other highlights from this day include “Performance of Affordable Metal Additive Manufacturing” by Jonathon Hollahan of Xact Metal, and “3D Printing Applications and Benefits in Medical Device Design” by Alexis Dang of Printerprezz.
乔纳森·莫里斯（Jonathan Morris），医学博士，神经放射科医生，梅奥诊所解剖模型实验室的联合主任
同样在2020年的AMUG会议计划上发表讲话将是乔纳森·莫里斯（Jonathan Morris），医学博士，神经放射科医生，兼解剖模型实验室的联合主任梅奥诊所, a non-profit academic medical center based in Rochester, Minnesota. The Mayo Clinic implemented additive manufacturing into its pre-surgical planning processes over ten years ago with help from Dr. Morris, who had previous 3D printing experience from his time at theNational Institutes of Health(NIH). Within the Mayo Clinic is the Anatomical Modeling Lab, allowing for in-hospital 3D printing of useful healthcare devices.
莫里斯博士反映了积极影响in-hospital 3D printinghas had in addressing unique and complex surgeries in a previous keynote speech: “[3D printing] has to happen where the doctors are. The fact that it’s in-house makes the lab very accessible for everyone [meaning] surgeons can simply come by between surgeries, explain what they want to visualize, and leave the rest to the radiologists.”
Dr. Morris will take the stage at AMUG on Thursday 26 March, from 9am to 10am.
