INSIDE 3D PRINTING NEW YORK

摘要

The Inside 3D Printing event took place at New York's Javitz Center in April. TCT decamped to the event for a busy first day as part of the annual US odyssey. The 2014 edition of the show demonstrated more balance between the exhibition (or exposition) and conference aspects, but I3DPNY is still a conference first. The sessions were kicked off by 3D Systems' CEO Avi Reichental - now a regular on the conference circuit and a consummate professional to boot - highlighting the significant progress both 3D Systems and the wider industry have made in the last 12 months. The focus was on the 'digital thread' that ties 3D content and 3D printing together. Avi explained how this was the key to the continuing success of 3D printing for both personal and professional users. Medical applications, which are a personal passion of Avi's, were also front and centre, with examples of how data manipulation combined with 3D printing is having significant impact on lives.
