#3DTALK panel session returns to TCT Show.
If you have already downloaded last week's episode of the TCT Podcast (if not and you need something to occupy your commute, listen here), you will have heard that #3DTALK is returning to TCT Show this year for what promises to be another lively panel session on the TCT Tech Stage.
The event series, created by Nora Toure founder of Women in 3D Printing and VP, Strategy at Ivaldi Group, and Barbara Hanna, founder and CEO of Cyant, brings together female leaders in the 3D printing industry to deliver their insights on prominent topics ranging from healthcare to robotics and everything in between. Following on from last year’s talk at TCT Show on materials and RAPID + TCT panel on additive manufacturing (AM) myths, this year we’re focussing on 3D printing and smart factories.
The ‘factory of the future’ is something many companies in the industry are aiming to prepare for as the industry gears up to Industry 4.0, but what exactly does that smart future factory look like and how far are we from that vision becoming a reality?
We have gathered three speakers from across varying areas of the industry to discuss the realities, challenges and trends shaping the smart factories of the future. Joining us on the panel will be; Stephanie DePalma, AddWorks Lead Engineer at GE Additive, Katy Milne, Chief Engineer for DRAMA at The Manufacturing Technology Centre, and Regan Hoult, PowderLife Apprentice at LPW Technology. The panel will be moderated by myself and Kadine James, 3D Tech Lead at Hobs 3D and Women in 3D Printing London ambassador.
Virtual factory floors, robotics, modular machines, connectivity, and more will be debated during the session along with how these trends and features will impact the future of the manufacturing workforce and skills gap.
The talk will take place on 26th September at 3pm on the TCT Tech Stage in Hall 3 of the NEC, Birmingham.
