This will be a thought provoking talk between two highly respected footwear visionaries: Footwearology's own creative director Nicoline van Enter and Christian Decker, CEO of DESMA, global market leader in injection molding and automation systems for footwear manufacturing.

Together they will have an open-minded yet critical discussion about 3D printing as a means for footwear manufacturing:

Has additive manufacturing been as successful as it could be? 

How could it penetrate the market on a larger scale?

Are there transition technologies while additive manufacturing is evolving?

How could additive manufacturing be combined with technologies like molding?

How could automation play a role in the evolution of 3D printing in combination with other technologies?

How will DESMA be a protagonist in this process?

This webinar is the first in a series to kick off FootPRINT 3D, our big event about digital manufacturing for footwear, which will be held in Barcelona on September 22/23.

Four more free webinars will follow, so stay tuned!

Who needs 3D printing anyway?
