Are you?

• Producing customised and complex parts in small volumes?
• Making tools and dies in large volume with the associated cost and time issues?
• Design constrained by current production methods?
• Looking for alternatives to conventional machining, forging, moulding and casting?

Additive manufacturing or “3-D printing,” uses emerging technologies and allows rapid transformation from "art" (CAD model) to "part" (manufactured product). Its huge potential across diverse sectors such defense, energy, aerospace, medical and commercial – is changing the way we design and make and is often more cost-effective than traditional methods.

At this event, we’re bringing together design, product capability and manufacturing experts who will help you understand

• The real costs and benefits of the technology to your business
• How to design to make the most of it
• Where you can access local support and expertise

This event includes a site tour.
