Session 1

3D Printing’s Fashionable Revolution

3D printing has transformed the fashion industry. The ability to create new textiles has opened opportunities for designers to experiment with new ideas. But will 3D printed fashion become mainstream, or will it stay relegated to the runway? Speakers dive into the intersection of 3D printing and fashion and how this technology is pushing the industry behind its limits.

Speakers: Naomi Kaempfer, Creative Director, Art Fashion Design, Stratasys, and Gabi Asfour, Founder & Designer, threeASFOUR

Session 2

Augmenting Globally Disrupted Supply Chains with 3D Printing- Lessons from a Pandemic

We saw the coronavirus disrupt the traditional manufacturing supply chain, causing the shortage of medical and personal protection equipment needed to help mitigate the spread and save lives. As a result, the 3D printing community stepped forward with an alternative method to developing these critical supplies. Panelists share insights on the effects and lessons learned from the global pandemic.
