The meeting, hosted by Technology IQ -- a division of global events company IQPC -- will be a unique opportunity for commercial additive manufacturing end-users, vendors and service bureaus to discuss if this technology will be a sustainable production approach, as well as strategies for manufacturing lighter weight products with less raw materials and lesser cost penalties, if any.

Another benefit is that production is less cumbersome compared with traditional methods," cited Harry Kleijnen, Manager Development Grids, Philips Healthcare.
