MODERATOR:


Digital manufacturing has been called the third industrial revolution and is at the frontier of advanced manufac-turing. Its widespread adoption could upend currently

accepted production economics by allowing things to be made econom-ically in smaller numbers, with more flexibility, and with new materials. Furthermore, end-users will eventually be able to manufacture products themselves instead of relying on large factories with global supply chains.

While there seems little doubt that the advent of 3D printing or additive manufacturing represents a potentially huge economic opportunity across multiple industries for service providers, systems manufacturers, and photonics companies, digital manufacturing has been the subject

2015 Updates to the US Munitions List That Will Impact ITAR—What Would You Like to See Changed?Tuesday 10 February · 5:00 to 7:00 pm Location: Room 101 (Exhibit Level)

MODERATOR:

Jennifer Douris Lobbyist for SPIE

Join us for a discussion on upcoming changes to the US Munitions List (USML) that will impact ITAR regulations for both industry and research universities. The rewrite of Category XII of the U.S Munitions List (USML) is part of the

overall effort undertaken by the Administration's Export Control Reform (ECR) initiative. The USML contains the items controlled under the Interna-tional Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Category XII covers much of the optic and photonic commodities and components controlled under ITAR. Most of the other categories have already been addressed, but they have saved Category XII for last due to its complexity and importance to both industry and the military. We expect the proposed rules for this category to be published in 2015. Come share your concerns and let us know what you would like to see changed.

Conflict Minerals: What You Need to KnowWednesday 11 February · 8:00 to 10:00am Location: Room 134 (Exhibit Level)

If your company sells a product that you manufacture (or that you have manu-factured for you), you need to understand how the conflict minerals rule applies to you. If you are in the supply chain for the electronics, telecom, automotive, aerospace, medical device, or industrials industries, you are probably fielding inquiries from your customers about the source of tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold in your products. Even if you aren’t a public company, you may have to provide sourcing information to your customers to become (or remain) a qualified supplier. Depending on your customer demands, conflict minerals sourcing information may be a commercial necessity. You’ll benefit from this workshop if you want to know “How does the conflict minerals rule apply to me?” or "What do I have to do if there is tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold in my product?” or “What are the best practices for gathering the sourcing infor-mation to keep my customer happy or make any required filings?” There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share best practices on compliance readiness, supplier engagement, and customer interaction.

INTENDED AUDIENCE Procurement and supply chain managers, sales executives, compliance offi-cers and in-house counsel who want to maintain and grow their companies’ customer relationships and comply with the US rule on conflict minerals.

THURSDAYSoftware Tutorial on Optoelectronic Device SimulationThursday 12 February 2015 · 1:00 to 5:00 pm Location: Marriott Marquis Hotel, Sierra A

INSTRUCTOR:

Joachim Piprek Founder and President NUSOD Institute

This tutorial gives a hands-on introduction to high-end simulation tools for electronic and optoelectronic devices (APSYS, LASTIP, PICS3D from Crosslight Software). These

software packages combine electrical, thermal, optical, and quantum-me-chanical models in two or three dimensions and can be applied to a large variety of semiconductor devices such as laser diodes, LEDs, solar cells and transistors.

The tutorial explains and demonstrates the basic operation of these soft-ware tools. Strategies for setting the right model options and material parameters to obtain realistic simulation results are also discussed. Deep insight into micro- and nano-scale physical processes is provided using realistic device examples.
