WorkshopsMonday, May 119:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.  Medical Implant Scanning & ManufacturingWorkshop Leader: Karen Weissman, Materialise USA Speakers include: Ola Harrysson, NC State University; Andy Christensen, Medical Modeling; Dr. Stephen Rouse, Walter Reed Medical Center; Koen Engelborghs, Materialise Custom implants are not a wave of the future; they are an important part of rapid manufacturing today! With the advances in Rapid Manufacturing, engineers, designers and doctors now have the capability to make implants specifically designed for each patient in a time and cost efficient way. This workshop introduces participants to the implant process from scanning through surgery. Hear presentations from industry experts that address each step of the process.
1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. FUNDAMENTALS: Rapid Technologies & Additive ManufacturingWorkshop Leader: Graham Tromans, Loughborough UniversityThis workshop introduces participants to the world of rapid technologies with discussions on the most widely used additive technologies and how they are applied including:
FUNDAMENTALS: Reverse Engineering & 3D Data CaptureWorkshop Leader: Giles Gaskell, Laser Design Inc.; Michael Raphael, Direct Dimensions & Marty Chader, Rapidform, Inc.This workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to 3D scanning technologies, software and processes. Combining presentations and hands-on demonstrations, attendees gain a clear understanding of the fundamentals of 3D scanning. The workshop begins with short presentations highlighting the differences between data capture devices. This is followed by presentations on the most popular post processing software programs and the workflows from importing data to exporting final models. Technology experts discuss the typical project workflow using case studies for illustration. The workshop concludes with a hands-on demonstration of some of the most popular scanning devices. Metal Parts Using Additive TechnologiesWorkshop Leader: Chris Sutcliffe, MTT Technologies Group; Timothy Gornet, University of LouisvilleAdditive processes are increasingly being used for creating metal parts. Methods for metal part fabrication range from casting metal parts from rapid prototyped patterns to direct metal fabrication using lasers, electron beams or ultrasonic energy. These processes enable numerous applications including tooling from traditional tool steel alloys, novel metal alloys for biomedical applications, and multiple material configurations that are not possible using traditional methods. The benefits and limitations of these technologies are explored including:
Thursday, May 141:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.  Metalcasting SolutionsWorkshop Leader: Alfred Spada, American Foundry SocietyHosted by the American Foundry Society, this workshop provides you with an interactive overview of metalcasting processes and alloys so you can make better design and sourcing decisions for your engineered cast components. Do you need a casting in two weeks with mechanical properties equal to that of a production part? Is the tooling cost estimate too high, but casting is the only way to manufacture your component? This workshop is designed to provide you with information that answers these questions and provides you options. Become an informed designer and purchaser by understanding how the proper material/process marriage can unleash the power of metalcasting.
Architectural ModelingWorkshop Leader: Nico Foqué, MaterialiseSpeakers include: Charles Overy, LGM; Saima Elahi, Entire Imaging Solutions This workshop is a capstone to the morning architectural sessions and provides the attendee with a solid overview of how to successfully integrate rapid technologies into architecture. Rapid technologies have a clear role in the architecture industry: they make 3D models much more accessible to architects and their clients. The workshop organizes the architectural workflow into three steps; CAD preparation (focusing on Revit and Sketchup), geometry export, and data preparation (focusing on Magics RP). Attendees learn about basic 3D data-processing tasks so their firms can successfully implement the RAPID 2009 conference knowledge. Specific topics include:
