Co-Located Events
3D Printing LIVE! USA is co-located with the following relevant events. Each of the events are full two-day executive conferences, co-located with a common tradeshow. We co-locate these events because there is strong overlap across these topics, exposing you to the full relevant supply chains and customer and supplier bases, saving you time and money from attending separate events.
Attendees to any conference will have access to all the co-located conference tracks and the combined tradeshow.

3D printing is an additive method that is changing the way we make things by enabling cheap item-level customization. Printed electronics is also an additive process that is enabling a paradigm shift in electronic devices from small-sized and rigid electronics to large-sized and flexible ones. 3D printing and printed electronics will have strong convergence in the near future, enabling 3D printed functional products. We are witnessing the beginning. |
Wearable technology products will be fashion items, therefore 3D printing will play a role by enabling cheap and cheerful personalization. |
3D printing is ultimately limited by the functionality of the printed materials. As additives, graphene and other 2D materials will expand the materials menu by bringing multi-functionality (conductivity, better heat dissipation, higher strength) to a range of materials including thermoplastics. |
