Stratasys consulting firm unveils “Think
Additively” program, going beyond Design for Additive Manufacturing
(DfAM) and connecting 3D printing to business transformation
initiatives
Blueprint, a Stratasys-owned additive manufacturing consultancy,
has launched a first-of-its-kind technology enablement program,
“Think Additively,” to help businesses more holistically embrace
additive manufacturing throughout their organizations. The program
is meant to go beyond technical Design for Additive Manufacturing
(DfAM) training to help companies achieve larger transformation
goals, such as creating innovation engines, accelerating
go-to-market and improving manufacturing efficiency.
In a recent Blueprint study, 85% of companies ranked knowledge
as their biggest barrier to driving greater adoption of additive
manufacturing across their organizations. “Transforming
manufacturing is more than buying a 3D printer, and thinking
additively is more than Design for Additive Manufacturing,” said
Kunal Mehta, head of consulting at Blueprint. “Achieving strategic
benefits like streamlined global supply chains or an improved new
product development process requires communication across the
organization, and communication requires a shared language. Whether
an organization is early in additive adoption or mature, it is our
aim to provide the knowledge and the language to achieve these
transformational benefits.”
The Think Additively program includes on-site courses,
individualized coaching, and additive accelerator workshops. The
program takes clients through a tailored, multi-step journey via
four components:
- Foundations: A three-day level-set on additive technologies,
benefits, and design principles to establish a common
language.
- Additive Coaching: A 3-12-month coaching engagement working
with individuals to put Foundations knowledge into practice.
- Growth Engagements: Custom additive manufacturing acceleration
workshops to identify and realize the business value of 3D
printing.
- Advanced Courses: Deep dives into technical design disciplines,
enabling applications of the future.
Think Additively Foundations can be delivered at either a
client’s location or a Stratasys site with course content
accessible through an online, mobile-friendly adaptive learning
platform. For more information, please visit
