Rising Media’s world-renowned Inside 3D Printing Conference and Expo lands in the Big Apple on April 10-12, 2016. Focused track topics include aerospace, medical, business, metal, IP, manufacturing and marketing. Hours: Sunday, April 10, 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.; Monday, April 11, 9:45 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Tuesday, April 12, 9 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
The world-renowned Inside 3D from not only all over the United States, with a comprehensive understanding of
but from dozens of countries.
A Full Slate of Metal-Printing Knowledge
What’s in store for those specifically interested in metal printing? On Sunday afternoon, April 10, Jonathan Cornelus, business development manager for Quick- parts, leads a 2-hr. workshop (beginning at 2:15 p.m.) on applications for direct metal printing. Increasingly, 3D printing is used not only for prototyping, but also for the production of finished goods. This workshop will help manufacturers, says Cornelus, decide when and where to use metal additive manufacturing. He also will provide relevant case studies. Key themes to be explored include monolithic construction, flow optimization, minia- turization, increased functionality and mass reduction. Attendees will walk away
Printing Conference and Expo
returns to New York City on April 10-12, 2016, and 3D Metal Printing will be there in full force. Since its inception in 2013, the Inside 3D Printing event has grown into one of the largest professional 3D-printing events in the world. On the agenda is a full day of workshops on Sun- day, April 10, followed by two full days of conference sessions led by industry experts. And, let’s not forget the dozens of equipment and technology demonstra- tions to be provided by the event’s exhibitors, representing the latest in 3D printers, accessories and services.
Whatever your role, Inside 3D Printing has a focused track (including several on metal-additive manufacturing) with in- depth analysis and takeaways tailored to your priorities. The expo hall allows net- working opportunities with colleagues
when to use direct metal printing, and how to take advantage of the design free- dom that these processes offer.
Medical and general manufacturing themes dominate the agenda on Monday, April 11. Included is a talk on intellectu- al-property-protected 3D-printed elec- tronics, by Sharon Flank, PhD, CEO of InfraTrac. Closing the day’s conference will be keynoter (and 3D Metal Printing columnist) Terry Wohlers, whose presen- tation is titled: The Next Frontier in 3D Printing. “Interest and excitement sur- rounding additive manufacturing and 3D printing—terms that are used inter- changeably—are at an all-time high,” he says. “Countless corporations, government agencies and investors are hard at work trying to predict where it is headed.” Wohlers will share his thoughts on the topic.
