session, What Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing Means for the Metal Fabrication Industry. Business leaders in the addi- tive-manufacturing industry will discuss the current state of this technology, and where it is going. What are the new challenges? How should a company invest in the technolo- gy? How does this new type of manufacturing change the way that we do business?
Attendees can gain perspectives into this technology in terms of making metal parts and how the continued evolu- tion of technology and pricing structure affect high-mix, low-volume manufacturers as well as reducing the cost of complex part production for metal manufacturers. The panel includes Carl Dekker, president, Met-L-Flo, Inc.; Bob Markley, CEO, 3rd Dimension Industrial 3D Printing; Rick Neff, man- ager of market development, Cincinnati Inc.; and Bryan Crutchfield, managing director, Materialise USA.

This session offers a comprehensive look at the current threats manufacturers’ face, the security vulnerabilities they exploit, and the potential impact on an organization. Atten- dees will receive critical information and guidance on devel- oping a security strategy that deploys the latest and greatest technologies available to protect a company’s valuable infor- mation and minimize disruption to customers, operations and productivity.
