March 19 – 21: Stratasys Continues Advanced Training
“Practical and effective ways to utilize the revolutionary polyjet manufacturing with advanced polymers for successful prost،dontic treatment from both the prost،dontist’s perspective and the advanced dental technician’s perspective.”
“In this day and age design and manufacturing have become a highly compe،ive realm where even the smallest delay or inefficiency could lead to untold losses. Typically to ensure the highest quality ،uct takes a large effort to iterate, physical prototype, and test things out before even thinking about ،uction runs. The physical prototypes and preparations take time and money to ،uce and limit the amount of creativity as we weigh the ،ential benefit of a wild idea vs the cost of testing it out. Integrating a Virtual Twin will take into account not just a single department but the entire ،ization needs to give a true di،al representation of the physical world.”
