Recorded at CDFAM Computational Design Symposium, Berlin, 2024
3D printing is dead. Like a once shiny child star, the hype has tapered and it’s time to grow up. Thankfully, it is officially out of its awkward teenage years and has graduated into adulthood as AM. 3D printing established a microeconomy built on venture capitalism, but now that the sensationalism wanes, how does the industry achieve the returns it has promised? Understanding AM’s fit in the manufacturing ecosystem is key, and it has always revolved around the same thing. Parts. 3D printing made shapes, it’s time to additively manufacture parts; and that starts with design.
The CDFAM Amsterdam 2025 program brings together leading experts in computational design from industry, academia and software development across all scales of application, from micro to mega.
This year’s keynotes will be delivered by Federico Casalegno, Executive Vice President of Design at Samsung Electronics, and Mathew Vola, Arup Fellow of Computational Design.
