TLC: Tom and Lonnie Chat - BIG Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) & Printing Big Things

Description:

Chat with the engineers who work hard to help you work smarter! World-renown researchers Thomas Kurfess, Ph.D. and Lonnie J. Love, Ph.D. join us from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Charged with ensuring our country’s manufacturing sector thrives, Kurfess and Love are blazing new trails by asking “what if” questions and whittling away the kinks in the last step of manufacturing technology products before market. This conversation is your chance to hear about the transformative technologies emerging within the industry; pose questions about how their research can help your business; and gain insight into their technology assessment strategies. These guys aren’t just INTELLIGENT…they’re practical, approachable, and witty

November Focus: With the capacity to quickly 3D print very large structures, like the mold for a concrete machine tool base at a reasonable cost, BAAM is increasingly used for production manufacturing. Industry researchers discuss BAAM processes, applications, and impact on the industry.
