Inside 3D Printing Lands in the Big Apple
March 11, 2016Comments
The world-renowned Inside 3D 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 Sunday, 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 demonstrations 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 networking opportunities with colleagues from not only all over the United States, 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 Quickparts, 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, miniaturization, increased functionality and mass reduction. Attendees will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of when to use direct metal printing, and how to take advantage of the design freedom that these processes offer.
