How to Implement an Integrated 3D Printing Strategy from Concept to Production
Whether you are developing a concept, creating fit and form prototypes, or creating functional prototypes, 3D printing can meet the needs of medical device engineers as they concept, design, develop, verify, and validate designs. In recent years, 3D printing has increasingly evolved into a viable production method for end-use medical parts. This presentation will help attendees understand the nuances of six of the most common 3D printing technologies and how they can take advantage of each technology for medical parts. Using case studies and common applications, attendees will understand how to incorporate the right 3D printing methodology at the right time into their product development cycle.

Unplugged: A Conversation with Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson on 3D Printing, Medical Devices, and the Future of Design
Join Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson for a conversation on how they’re using additive manufacturing, how it’s changed the way they design, and where additive is headed next. Plus learn how to build a business case for any 3D printer & get real-world insights into the biggest benefits, lessons learned, and top business, technical, and regulatory considerations with implementing 3D printing.
The panel discussion is hosted by B9Creations, a high-resolution, 3D printer manufacturer serving customers like Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, B. Braun Medical Inc., the NIH, Proctor & Gamble, 3M, and more in nearly 70 countries around the world.

Holistic Characterization of Materials and Processes in AM using Correlative Multi-scale Multi-modal Workflow
Additive manufacturing is being adopted into various aspects of manufacturing, primarily due to freedom to create complex designs and economic advantages of producing a small number of parts without the need for tooling. However, the move from prototyping to production requires greater understanding and control of several variables such as stricter dimensional tolerances, surface roughness, defects and microstructure control. While OEMs, service bureaus, and universities are addressing the process controls to limit variation in part quality, ZEISS is working on another aspect of developing holistic measurement methods to quantify the effects of these process controls called ZEISS Blueline. This approach utilizes a multi-scale, multi-modal workflow, designed to handle the complexity of the entire AM process chain, starting from raw materials to the finished parts.
Primary Topics
- Multi-length scale porosity and defect detection
- Accelerated identification and mitigation of key parameters affecting quality
- Investigate performance of AM parts by investigating complex micro-structures
- Using X-ray CT for NDT and Metrology applications
