| Revenue
from 3D printing is expected to nearly double by 2020. That means
employers and managers are looking for a well-trained and skilled
workforce to integrate this technology into their workplace. With the
help of ASME, that will be you. Enter code: DFAMINTRO |

| America Makes, DoD Select 3D Systems for Project to Reduce Part Corrosion |
3D Systems announced it has been awarded a contract by
America Makes and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in a project
that aims to address corrosion difficulties common to naval sea system
and other DoD platforms exposed to saltwater environments. According to a
2018 study by Logistics Management Institute, corrosion costs the U.S.
Navy more than $8.5 billion annually, accounting for more than 20
percent of total maintenance costs.
In a collaborative arrangement, 3D Systems will conduct research and
development of the Corrosion Performance Design Guide for Direct Metal
Printing of Nickel Alloys. The company received the award based on its
ability to collect corrosion data and apply its expertise on the effects
of various production practices associated with parts built via direct
metal printing. |

| 3D Printing Trends for 2020 |
Noting
that additive manufacturing (AM)-related sales by large public
companies expect to surpass $2.7 billion next year and $3 billion in
20201, Envision Capital Group LLC has posted what it believes to be four major industry trends in 2020:
- The divergence of metal 3D printing toward either affordable machines or machines for mass production
- A rise in development and availability of AM process control software
- The first trials of binder jetting as a technology
- A widespread acceptance of high-grade plastic and composite printing in manufacturing fields.

| Free Webinar: Selecting Parts for Additive Manufacturing |
| As
metal AM continues to expand as a viable production process, many
companies are assessing the viability of producing parts via the
selective laser melting. In 3D Metal Printing’s free webinar, Selecting Parts for Additive Manufacturing,
the SLM Solutions North America application-engineering team discusses
what types of parts, features and geometries are best suited to be
optimized for AM, and tips on what may make the process unfeasible.
Attendees gain an overview of how to assess their components in order to
implement a metal AM strategy. |
