Future Factory Series: 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing | Tuesday 28th April 2015

Submitted by Andy Rutherford on

Engineers’ and designers have been using 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing
technology for more than a decade, manufacturing everything from medical implants to
automotive parts. This year’s 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing conference will
provide delegates with much needed insight into the world of advanced technology, and
how to innovate, develop and enable crucial business growth. By sharing case studies from
the UK’s leading manufacturers, delegates will have the opportunity to learn about the

10th International Conference on Additive Manufacturing & 3D Printing 7th-9th July 2015- One week until deadline for abstracts

Submitted by Andy Rutherford on

Do you have a cutting edge, scientific presentation on Additive Manufacturing or a novel or ground breaking application that you would like to tell the world about? You only have one week to tell us about it and to have the opportunity of presenting at what is now established as one of the world’s leading knowledge transfer and networking events focused solely on the production of end-use components using additive ‘layer-based’ technologies.

Innovations in Large-Area Electronics Conference (innoLAE) 2015

Submitted by Veronica Ferguson on

Large-Area Electronics (including printed, plastic, organic and flexible electronics) is a new way of making electronics. The range of form factors that are possible with large-area electronics (LAE) is enabling electronic systems to be deployed in a wide variety of non-traditional situations: on paper and plastic, on clothes, in furniture, cars and buildings, as well as on packaging and even in/on the human body.
