Unleash the Fourth Industrial Revolution with a True Additive Manufacturing Platform
Companies have spent years over promising additive manufacturing as the coming of a new industrial revolution, but they’ve mostly failed to deliver. Greg Mark, CEO of Markforged, will speak about how manufacturers can transform how they build things with 3D printing that brings the power of agile software engineering to the world of industrial manufacturing. Armed with customer use cases from some of the world’s largest leading manufacturers like Siemens, Guering UK and Wurth, Greg will showcase how companies can improve their business metrics and profoundly change the way problems are seen and solved. Audience members will leave Greg’s presentation with a greater understanding of how, by leveraging the power of a digital 3D printing platform, they can unleash the creative potential of their employees by beginning to build a culture of additive manufacturing and, most importantly, learn how they can reinvent manufacturing today, so they can build anything they imagine tomorrow.

Evolving Legal Issues in Additive Manufacturing
Metal 3D printing is changing the way we design and manufacture millions of components. Along with this change comes new legal disputes, and most importantly centered around intellectual property. Knowing how to spot potential issues and being able to efficiently deal with them is essential for any business in the metal 3D printing space. This presentation will not be an overview of legal concepts, but rather a practical guide for any business to better equip itself to deal with the inevitable IP dispute.
