SOUTHWEST Session: Transitioning from prototyping to serial production is the defining challenge in additive manufacturing today. This presentation by Farsoon Technologies Americas will demonstrate a clear pathway to achieving high-volume, cost-effective manufacturing using truly open and integrated 3D printing solutions. We will explore real-world success stories across key industries, including the production of civil aerospace components, high-performance shoe molds, Intricate 3C products, electronic motorcycle parts, athletic and sporting goods, and medical implants. These case studies will reveal how our open-system approach provides the flexibility and material choice necessary for serial production. The session will then delve into the specific technology innovations that make this possible. We will showcase how Beam Shaping optimizes material and processing capabilities, while the Support Reduction System (SRS) slashes post-processing time and material waste. Attendees will learn how fine laser spot printing achieves ultra-fine 0.05mm details for intricate parts, and how large-layer thickness printing drastically improves efficiency for less critical dimensions. We will also highlight specialized solutions like Auto-Grafting Technology for superior mold production. Join us to discover how the latest advancements 3D printing technology are delivering great ROI by reducing total manufacturing costs and unlocking the full potential of volume AM production.

SOUTHWEST Session: Manufacturing is undergoing rapid digital transformation—driven by predictive maintenance, AI-driven insights, and smart factories. Yet IT/OT convergence is not achieved in strategy documents; it is lived daily through remote access, where people, vendors, and data cross into critical environments. This presentation explores the unique challenges CISOs and OT teams face—legacy patching debt, vendor access sprawl, ransomware pressure, and compliance demands—and why secure OT remote access is the essential bridge to efficiency, resilience, and productivity. Through industry case studies, we’ll examine how leaders are standardizing connectivity, reducing downtime costs, and enabling AI-driven operations—while ensuring security never falls behind transformation.
