We’re excited to head West to Anaheim, CA to the WestPack seminars today! Global Managing Design Director, Jim Warner is speaking about 3D Printing Technology and how to integrate prototyping into the design process early on.
The seminar, the fourth out of six being offered, takes place from 10:00 to 11:45 am on Wednesday, February 13th and will explore 3D printing solutions for packaging.
With commercial 3D printer prices dropping in 2013, the materials supported by 3D printers are also growing. Finally, technological advancements in multicolor thermoplastic extrusion, photo-catalyzed resins, deposited binders and laser sintering are enhancing prototypes and novel packaging. Audience members will learn how to best capitalize on these industry movements.
Kicking off the 3D Printing Technology seminar will be John McComb, Program Manager Structural Packaging at Campbell Soup Company who will examine 3D printing, rendering and prototyping solutions to achieve efficiency and cost saving in the design development process. Our own Jim Warner will speak next, followed by Bruce Bradshaw of Stratasys who will discuss leveraging 3D printing for packaging solutions.
