Excited to explore a new manufacturing dimension, Informa will bring together 3D printing researchers and industry representatives in a 2-day event that covers the types, materials and techniques in 3D printing as well as the industries involved. Call it what you like; additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping or advanced manufacturing, the forum will share case studies on materials like plastic, wax, polymers and metallics, discuss layering versus depositing and share industry uses for 3D printing like aircraft development, building design, organ reproduction and even food creation. The forum hopes to integrate international perspectives to see how 3D printing is developing across Australia and the globe.
