About this talk

Join PADT and Ben Shepard from Hensel Phelps for a presentation on the company's use of the Stratsys F120 in the construction industry. The success of any construction project is dependent on maintaining a high level of quality and attention to detail from the initial planning process, through the construction of the building. As one of the largest general contractors in the United States, Hensel Phelps clearly illustrates a belief in this practice. Prior to implementing 3D printing into its process, Hensel Phelps, like many other construction firms, relied primarily on computer generated imagery (CGI) and hand-drafted modeling to showcase designs and construction basics early on in the planning phase. This initial modeling process is not only key for initial customer meetings, but is also an integral starting point for the construction process itself. When weighing different options, the company was drawn to 3D printing due to its advantages over more traditional building methods. Models often require adjustments and changes as they go through the design process. Thanks to its unparalleled production speed, 3D printing allows for faster turnaround on more iterative projects. Register now to learn more about this incredibly unique application for 3D printing. About Ben Shepard: As a Lead Virtual Design and Construction Engineer at Hensel Phelps, Ben Shepard applies his 16 years of construction industry experience to focus on 3D animation, graphics, and 3D printing. He is responsible for creating 3D models and visuals that are used for procurement efforts and to support the construction process.
