3D Printing in Action Conference

Hosted by Mohawk's Additive Manufacturing Innovation Centre

Tuesday, June 26th, 2018
Mohawk College | Stoney Creek Campus
8:00 am - 2:00 pm

Do you have a passion for innovative manufacturing and design? Join us on Tuesday June 26, for the 3D Printing in Action Conference at Mohawk College’s Stoney Creek Campus for Skilled Trades. Hosted by IDEAWORKS' Additive Manufacturing Innovation Centre, researchers and innovators from the 3D printing world will be coming together to share information, innovations and best practices in the world of additive manufacturing. Join us to explore the opportunities additive manufacturing offers and hear from innovators in this technology space. See what Mohawk’s Stoney Creek campus has to offer with a tour of the manufacturing facilities. Learn about 3D printing history, fundamentals and innovations at this one-day event.

Sessions will address current challenges and innovations.

	Introductory Track	Advanced Track
Breakout Session 1 9:40 - 10:10 am	What is 3D Printing? Alex Goerner, Mohawk College Introduction to the 3D printing process.	Water atomization for emerging metal powder production Ali Asgarian, University of Toronto This talk addresses a knowledge-based approach to design and produce custom metal powder at the most upstream link of the additive manufacturing chain
Breakout Session 2 10:10 - 10:40 am	Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Sierra Robinson, Mohawk College Introduction to FDM with a case study in prosthetic molds.	Advanced applications of SLS Tharwat Fouad, Anubis Corp In this half an hour I will present several end use applications that will give you an idea of potential uses of this SLS in your industry. I will focus on applications using Polymers, mainly Nylon and Hybrid applications combining traditional manufacturing and 3D printing.
10:40 - 10:55 am	Morning Break
	Introductory Track	Advanced Track
Breakout Session 3 10:55 - 11:25 am	Stereolithography (SLA) Alex Cook, Mohawk College Introduction to SLA with a case study in high resolution castable models.	Disrupt or be Disrupted Stephanie Childs, Additive Metal Manufacturing Inc. Supply chains will never be the same again. 3D metal printing allows you to use the power of the technology to do what was previously thought impossible. Injection molding cycle times and thermal management can now be managed through the insertion of conformal cooling channels that follow the shape of the inserts and take the cooling where it is needed most.
Breakout Session 4 11:25 - 11:55 am	Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Paul Dang, Mohawk College Introduction to SLS with a case study in low volume production components.	Non Destructive Evaluation Techniques for Parts Produced by Additive Manufacturing Mohammadarmaan Bandi, Canadian Institute for Non-Destructive Evaluation (CINDE) We will review the results of initial attempts to qualify level of sensitivity achievable vs. known reference standards, and finally, the results of an AM produced geometry calibration block with known internal and open to surface discontinuities.
Breakout Session 5 12:25 - 12:55 pm	Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) Grant Nixon, Mohawk College Introduction to DMLS with a case study in conformal cooling.	Post-processing of metal 3D printed parts Allan Michaud, Mohawk College Additive Manufacturing (AM) solves some challenging manufacturing problems but can also create new, complex issues when dealing with support removal and post processing. These problems often stem from AM’s ability to create compound, organic geometries. This session will examine common machining strategies to complete the fabrication of metal AM parts.
12:25 - 1:05 pm	Lunch
