Introducing the NFL Helmet Challenge DfAM eSeries

Written by Duann Scott

Published on March 31, 2020

Our first ever month-long series with videos, live panel discussions, and guest blogs

nTop is hosting a series of presentations, panel discussions and blog posts around DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) aimed at participants in the NFL Helmet Challenge, but also relevant to the broader design and engineering community.

The goal of the series is to have a variety of thought leaders in the AM space educate and inspire others to rethink how they approach design for additive, making the most of the unique design freedom it offers, while still being realistic about some of the material and process restrictions.

The series will touch on architected materials, simulation and topology optimization, along with the business constraints unique to additive manufacturing. It will run over three weeks with the first videos released on April 7th by John Barnes, Matthew Shomper and David Busacker followed by a live discussion on April 14th.
