Structure of Multi-Layered Metal Materials
"Rapid Manufacturing of Cranio-Maxillofacial Implants" - 2nd international Conference on Rapid Manufacturing
Rapid Revolution: Flexible technologies could mean a return to customisatonRapid Manufacturing of Customised Products; De Montfort University, Leicester, UK (8th July 2008 )
June 23rd, 2008
In this one day seminar the technology to enable cost effective design and manufacture of individually customised products will be explained and demonstrated. The use of this new approach will be illustrated using case studies from industry; including customised motorbike seats for Ducati, bespoke artificial limbs, custom-fitting crash helmets and medical implants, created directly from medical scan data.
Presentations will be given by international experts who will cover the following topics:
-The custom-fit approach to individually customised products.
-Data capture techniques (laser scanning, pressure mapping and medical scan methods).
-Automating the design process.
-CAD tools for representation of functionally graded materials.
-Rapid Manufacturing methods and material.
-Industry case studies.
-Threats and opportunities for business.

The Society of Manufacturing Engineers Awarded Prof. Gideon Levy with the Additive Manufacturing Award
June 3rd, 2008
A Custom-Fit leading advisor, Prof. Gideon Levy, has been awarded by The Rapid Technologies and Additive Manufacturing Comunity (RTAM) of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) with the RTAM Industry Achievement Award at the RAPID 2008 Conference and Exposition on May, 20th.
Established in 2008, the RTAM Industry Achievement Award was developed to recognize an individual, team or company for outstanding accomplishments that have had significant impact within the additive manufacturing industry or in any industry through the application of additive manufacturing technologies. As the name suggests, the award recognizes achievements that have been implemented or deployed in a commercial/industrial environment rather than research investigative work. Winners are selected with consideration for the scope and scale of benefits realized and the potential future impact their work will have on the industry.
“The goal of the award is to acknowledge the development of new technologies, materials and processes, or the creative application of existing technologies to solve problems and create new opportunities,” said Todd A. Grimm, vice chair of SME’s RTAM Community. “It is meant to honor the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes and whose names and faces might not be as well known as others within the industry.”
Prof. Gideon Levy is the head of AG’s Institute for Rapid Product Development (iRPD). When iRPD was affiliated with FHS St. Gallen-University for Applied Sciences (St. Gallen, Switzerland), Dr. Levy led a team in the development of new, groundbreaking selective laser sintering materials. In doing so, he addressed key barriers, which resulted in the greater utilization of the technology. Users within the industry are constantly demanding more and more quality materials. Levy’s team answered that call by making advances that delivered a combination of processing characteristics and quality.
A member of SME and a Fellow member at CIRP (The International Academy for Production Engineering), Dr. Levy has a Masters of Science degree in control engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Manufacturing Technology. He holds 20 patents and has published 150 scientific and technical articles, was the 2007 recipient of the prestigious VR@P award in the field of virtual rapid prototyping and was named one of Time-Compression Technologies’ (UK) 25 Most Influential People in Rapid Manufacturing.
About SME:
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers is the world’s leading professional society supporting manufacturing education. Through its member programs, publications, expositions and professional development resources, SME promotes an increased awareness of manufacturing engineering and helps keep manufacturing professionals up to date on leading trends and technologies. Headquartered in Michigan, SME influences more than half a million manufacturing practitioners and executives annually. The Society has members in more than 70 countries and is supported by a network of hundreds of technical communities and chapters worldwide.
