3D Printing Conventions and Conferences

General tech events, like CES in Las Vegas or GITEX in Dubai, are essentially global conventions. They draw together businessmen, engineers and the curious from all over the world. At such conventions and associated conferences, the real-life experience exchange in technology innovation takes place.

With the 3D printing industry going strong in the past two decades, we see more and more AM manufacturers taking part in such conventions and conferences.

Meetups at 3D Printing Events

Every community has its own leaders and celebrities. So does 3D printing community. It is a good chance to meet a YouTuber, for example, whose channel you are subscribed to and following most of the tutorials, reviews or other entertaining videos. In some cases, you can get a sticker or a selfy picture with them.

What to do if you are unable to visit an event? No worries, the dedicated 3D printing community members often share their experience with others. You can follow them on social media such as Twitter or YouTube where they often share it live.

If you are unable to watch a video but want to be updated live, then we would recommend following a particular hashtag on Twitter on Instagram like #CES22, #TCT21, #ERRF21, etc.

The National Science Foundation Educator's Early Career Development Program (CAREER) provides annual grants from Michigan State University to "aspiring educators with the potential to become role models in education and research." In 2021, researcher Chanel Foster, an engineer and assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Michigan, was one of the recipients of the grant. It uses 3D printing to develop electric motors that push the boundaries of design and are environmentally friendly. In a new article on the 3DVision blog, we figured out how additive technologies will be used in the production of engines and what the spiders have to do with it!

Dental 3D printing was first explored in the 1990s, when Align Technology started making mouthguards using a 3D printer. The next 20 years were spent trying to optimize the technology and achieve acceptable print quality. In 2012, the first implant was printed by Layer Wise, and a little later in the same year, a 3D-printed titanium lower jaw was implanted in the patient. From that moment began the active development of volumetric printing technology in dentistry.

So the Sokolniki Exhibition and Convention Center in Moscow hosted the annual international exhibition of additive technologies 3D Print Expo from 13 to 14 October.

3D Print Expo visitors took part in 3D printing workshops. They tested the MEDVR_LAP surgical simulator by MEDVR and representatives of Eidos-Innovation.

Thanks to PICASO 3D and Autodesk, guests have passed four levels of 3D printer usage: from zero “I haven’t seen it in my eyes” to advanced “A 3D printer has appeared at home”.
By voting for the best 3D printed hand, visitors determined the manufacturer of the highest quality 3D products.

Eight companies took part in the competition: Chevalier.ru, PICASO 3D, Total Z, Harz Labs, PROTOTYPE, MAESTRO, Idea-Z and MAGNUM. All participants were given a product model, plastic and tasks. As a result, the statuette from the PROTOTYPE company won the majority of votes and brought victory to its creators.

The guests also appreciated the most unusual exhibits in the 3D Art Gallery: an octopus from Total Z, a submarine from 3dminilab and balalaikas that could be played!

Show program

This time at 3D Print Expo for the first time there was a 3D Fashion Show with the participation of designers Snezhana Paderina from New York and Irina Tosheva from Skopje. There was also a video presentation of the LYSIS COLLECTION collection by American fashion designer Alexis Walsh.

Developed the theme of 3D technologies in the field of art, fashion and design on the Dimension Link media platform and presented the Palmette Art project.

The show also hosted the fifth annual 3D Print Awards for leaders in the additive industry. According to its results:

• Brand of the Year: IMPRINTA;
• "The best domestic manufacturer of 3D printers": Magnum 3D;
• "Best Innovative Company of the Year": "Ten.MedPrint";
• "Best Development of the Year": Picaso;
• "The most demanded manufacturer of consumables": REC;
