Industrialization of Additive Manufacturing

Seminar by Ed Herderick

Director of Additive

The Ohio State University

Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence

Over the past 30 years additive manufacturing has matured from a handful of lab scale prototyping technologies to a full blown suite of production hardened manufacturing methods. This talk will cover some of the early history for metals additive manufacturing and provide context for similarities and differences between additive and traditional subtractive metallurgical manufacturing. A series of case studies from across industrial applications will then be presented including aerospace, power, and oil and gas.  Additionally, views on the current state of the technology as well as considerations for qualification and certification will be presented.
