Cross-industry trailblazers to lead the agenda at Women in 3D Printing’s 2022 TIPE Conference

3D印刷中的妇女(Wi3DP), a non-profit champion of female participation in additive manufacturing, has published the agenda ahead of its second annualTIPE 3D printing Conference.

Set to be held online from January 18-20, 2022, the event will feature contributions from over 170 global industry insiders, on 3D printing technology, as well as the wider sector and the people that drive it. Like last year, TIPE 2022 has also assembled an all-women keynote speaker lineup, with innovators from the worlds of fashion, architecture and coding expected to provide their inclusivity-driving insights.

“I’m excited to join Women in 3D Printing’s TIPE Conference to highlight real challenges women encounter within their careers,” said Reshma Saujani, CEO ofMarshall Plan for Moms编码的女孩. “It takes an entire community like Women in 3D Printing and Marshall Plan for Moms to make change and close the gender gap within companies.”

Closing 3D printing’s gender-gap

Wi3DP成立于2014年,是一个致力于促进女性在增材制造业中必须扮演的角色的组织。雷电竞充值根据该小组的说法,在该行业工作的人中,只有13%是女性,因此目前被剥夺了丰富的劳动力多样性所提供的见解。因此,为了重新平衡这种性别差距,Wi3DP已着手将妇女参与3D印刷提高到50%。

To drive further awareness of its goals, the organization has held numerous events at its individual chapters around the world, building up a community of 10,000 members across 23 countries along the way. In the initial stages, these“#3Dtalk”事件focused on lending a platform to those women blazing a trail in 3D printing at some of the sector’s biggest events likeRAPID + TCTAmerica Makes’ TRX.

Since then, Wi3DP has stepped up its diversity-driving efforts, by holding its first TIPE 3D printing Conference in 2021. Featuring the first all-female lineup of speakers and panelists of any 3D printing event, the two-day show, which was designed to provide a platform on which women could share their experiences, expertise and visions for the sector, gained a lot of traction and backing from leading AM firms.

“The impact of TIPE 2021 was unprecedented,” said Mara Hitner, VP of Strategic Partnerships at TIPE platinum sponsorMatterHackers. “After months of seeing the same case studies, research, and points of view in virtual conferences, it was a blessing to the industry to have a conference proactively searching for different perspectives to spark new conversations.”

“我最喜欢和最常听到的反馈是,与会者喜欢看到新鲜的面孔,并听到他们以前从未听说过的声音。”

Tipe 2022的女性主导阵容

Headlining this year’s TIPE Conference are Anouk Wipprecht, Julia Koerner and Reshma Saujani, three prominent female figures working to advance womens’ role in 3D printing. As a ‘fashtiontech’ designer, Wipprecht has worked with the likes ofMaterialiseShapewaysto establish a文件夹她毫无疑问地借鉴了“技术高级服装”的体验,可以瞥见时尚的未来。

Koerner, on the other hand, is an award-winning designer specializing in the convergence of architecture, robotics and 3D printing, whose work has been featured by国家地理Paris Haute Coutureamong others, while Saujani has founded two organizations and authored a book, dedicated to helping advance the movements that fight for women and girls’ economic empowerment.

Saujani的代码倡议的女孩特别活跃于促进后者。发现今天只有24%的计算机科学家是女性,该组织现在已经通过为各种学术水平的女学生推出俱乐部,夏季课程和大学网络采取行动,这为寻求学习代码的人提供了支持。

In addition to these esteemed presenters, industry leaders from firms likeHP,桌面金属,Carbon,HenkelStratasysare also set to speak at the event, as are prominent figures from the wider manufacturing sector, ranging fromStanley Black & DeckerPratt & Whitney, to aerospace-focused organizations likeNASALockheed Martin.
