3-D Printing Symposium

Join Us for This Event!

The University of Washington is proud to announce its second interdisciplinary 3-D Printing Symposium:

Thursday-Friday June 22-23  | Kane Hall | University of Washington, Seattle 

For information about last year's inaugural additive manufacturing symposium, you may find a summary at Open3DP. 

Hosted by the UW Strategic Research Initiative for Additive Manufacturing, this two day-long event offers an unprecedented chance to witness the latest advances in 3-D printing and scholastic research for one of the most critical societal opportunities in modern history.

This 2-day symposium will bring together an international audience from industry and academia to discuss the cutting edge of additive manufacturing technologies. A particular emphasis is placed on the interface with functional polymeric materials. The event is open to the public and we warmly welcome students and industry professionals from diverse fields. 

Schedule:
