No Longer Just Prototyping, How 3d Printing Is Adding Production Capabilities For Businesses
Until recently, 3D Printing, which has gone through many hype cycles, has mostly found a home in early product development prototyping. With new 3D printer technologies, material innovation, and better part economics and speed, new opportunities are opening up. Discover how industries like dental, medical, and industrial manufacturing are taking advantage of new capabilities with real-world examples.
Our speaker, Fin Watterson, is a product marketing director at Stratasys, the largest 3D printing company in the world and inventor of FDM, the most widely used 3D printing technology for hardware prototyping. At his previous company, Origin, in San Francisco, which Stratasys acquired at the beginning of 2021, Fin was the first marketing hire and helped launch multiple innovative 3D Printing products for mass manufacturing applications. Hailing from Ireland originally, Fin has spent several years in Shenzhen, China, working for PCH, a contract manufacturer producing products for some of the largest brands, before moving to San Francisco to pursue experience at manufacturing startups. Pre-pandemic Fin enjoys endurance sports in his spare time and has completed several Ironman triathlons and ultra-marathons.
