The integration of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Model-Based Definition (MBD), and Additive Manufacturing (AM) is revolutionizing product development by streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering innovation.

Together, these technologies empower organizations to respond swiftly to market demands, reduce time-to-market, and create products that better meet consumer needs, ultimately transforming the way products are conceived, developed, and brought to market.
Enjoy food and drinks from Joe’s Live/Bub City in the Rose Room as you learn from industry experts how each of these concepts can address specific challenges and why they are of great interest to businesses.
Why Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)?
ALM addresses challenges like slow development cycles, quality control issues, and disjointed teams by providing a cohesive structure for managing software projects.
Why Model Based Definition (MBD)?
MBD tackles issues related to documentation errors, communication gaps between design and engineering, and the time-consuming nature of traditional manufacturing processes.
Why Additive Manufacturing (AM)?
Companies often struggle with long lead times, high costs associated with traditional manufacturing, and the inability to produce complex geometries efficiently. AM resolves these issues, paving the way for innovation and improved product offerings.
Join Us Live!
Embracing ALM, MBD, and AM can lead to substantial improvements in product development efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and innovation capacity, driving better business outcomes and competitive advantages in today’s fast-paced market.
Join us on June 26, 2025, from 2:30 to 5:30 pm to hear strategies for enhancing collaboration, boosting efficiency, and elevating product quality. Don’t miss this chance not only to learn but also to network with your peers. We offer free parking validation for the Parkway Bank Park garage in addition to happy hour libations.

Meet Our Speakers

Todd Liebenow
Sr. Applications EngineerTodd Liebenow, Senior Applications Engineer at EAC, will discuss MBD, a process that leverages digital models to define all engineering details, replacing traditional 2D drawings. This model-centric approach enhances clarity and reduces ambiguity in design and manufacturing processes.

Rick Beddoe
Additive Manufacturing Applications EngineerRick Beddoe, Additive Manufacturing Applications Engineer at EAC, will discuss Additive Manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, which allows for the creation of complex geometries that would be challenging or impossible to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods.
