Abstract:

3D Printing has traditionally been used to make mechanical, or structural, components. However, a wide variety of materials can be printed that perform other types of functions. For example, conductive circuit patterns may be printed using silver nanoparticle inks (electronic functionality). Copper microlattices may be printed to produce heat exchangers (thermal functionality). Lead zirconate titanate inks can be printed to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The list goes on and on with magnetic, optical, biological, and other types of functional materials. This webinar will discuss a variety of materials, 3D printing methods, and applications that demonstrate the notion of multifunctional 3D printing.

Bio:

Denis Cormier is the Earl W. Brinkman Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology where he also directs the New York State Additive Manufacturing and Multifunctional Printing Center. He has worked in the area of additive manufacturing and 3D printing for nearly 25 years. Much of his research has focused on metal additive manufacturing of aerospace alloys and engineering lattice structures. He was a founding member of ASTM's F-42 additive manufacturing standards group, and he is a long-time organizing committee member for SME's RAPID conference and exhibition. He serves on the editorial advisory boards for several journals including Additive Manufacturing, the Rapid Prototyping Journal.

The M&D track at the 2019 IISE Annual Conference comprised a total of 23 contributed, invited, and special sessions. Special thanks go to the 2019 M&D Track Chairs:

Gaining industry experience while still undergoing schooling seems to be limited to Co-Ops and internships acquired solely by the individual student. The closest typical schoolwork can offer is second hand knowledge at best. Penn State's Learning Factory is a unique and valuable asset available to all PSU engineering students. 

The Learning Factory provides all engineering students as close to a real job experience as one could while still in the academic field.  Handling all College of Engineering capstone projects, 1,800 and counting, all of which have been sponsor by 500 different internal and external sponsors*. I have personally experienced this first hand while completing my Industrial Engineering capstone project in the fall of 2018. I can firmly say that Penn State's Learning Factory provided me and others the closest possible experience to actual industry work through, scale of the overall project the interdisciplinary teamwork, and freedom of the students.

May 16, 2019 the Institute lost a long-time member, colleague, contributor and friend as J Temple Black died just 25 days short of his 81^st birthday. J was active over his career with the Manufacturing and Design and Operational Excellence (Lean) Divisions of the Institute. A Professor Emeritus at Auburn University, he will be remembered as lead author of Degarmo's Materials and Processes in Manufacturing and for his pioneering research in metal cutting and lean manufacturing. His scholarship and professional contributions were recognized when he was elected a Fellow of IISE in 1999. Additionally, he is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and Society of Manufacturing Engineers.
