Q&A with 3Deus Dynamics Julien Barthes

1. What sparked your interest in this particular field, and what continues to drive your passion for it?

Our ambition is to show that 3D printing is not just a prototyping tool, but also a fully-fledged production tool for high added-value parts for cutting-edge industries.

2. Your presentation at Silicone Expo Europe is titled “Silicone 3D Printing: Meet the Industrial Ecosystem (Machine, Materials, Manufacturers, Technology).” Can you provide a concise summary of the key takeaways attendees can expect to gain from your session?

We want to give an overview of how silicone 3D printing can be used to manufacture finished parts for cutting-edge industries.

3. What are the most significant challenges or opportunities you see currently facing the Silicone 3d printing Industry? How does your presentation address these?

Our aim is to democratise 3D printing as a production tool, reassure industry professionals about the scalability of this solution and identify with them the use cases for which 3D printing brings real added value.

4. Who is your ideal audience for this presentation? Which professionals would benefit the most from attending your session? (e.g., engineers, researchers, business leaders, etc.)

Engineers, medical device manufacturers, business leaders in aerospace and healthcare.

5. Can you share a real-world example or case study that illustrates the practical application of the concepts you’ll be discussing in your presentation?

Our 3D-printed surgical models have the potential to revolutionise the way medical devices are developed through a more ethical approach, by limiting the use of cadavers or animals.

6. Beyond your presentation, what are you most looking forward to at Silicone Expo Europe? (e.g., networking, specific sessions, exploring the exhibition, etc.)
Networking

7. What are some key resources (books, articles, websites, etc.) that you would recommend to someone looking to deepen their understanding of the topics covered in your presentation?
We would recommend to visit our website 3deusdynamics.com

And follow us on LinkedIn

We also had an article in the FonMag in November 2024 (04.2024 Expo Edition)

8. What are the most important questions that professionals in this industry should be asking themselves today?
‘Think out of the box”: new materials and the associated design possibilities are making it possible to develop higher-performance products that previous technologies were unable to achieve.

9. If you could leave the audience with one lasting message from your presentation, what would it be?

I like this quote from Albert Einstein:

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Knowledge is limited; imagination encircles the world.”
