Don't miss the 2014 AMExpo

On September 23-24, 2014, the additive manufacturing/3D printing community can attend this year’s RAPID

conference & expo and the Additive Manufacturing Expo in Mississauga, ON.

Located at The International Centre, Hall 5, attendees will have an opportunity to research and source the latest equipment, materials and services in additive manufacturing/3D printing and 3D scanning.

Nine presentations are available on the 23rd, covering 3D printing topics from self-replicating 3D printing technology for use on the Moon, to more down to Earth subjects such as sensing and real time control of

laser metal additive processes. Conformal cooling will be addressed by Lou Young of Linear Mold and Design, while Renishaw’s Mark Kirby will describe collaborative design for additive processes. Dr. Lijue Xue

from the National Research Council will speak on converting 3d designs in to functional metallic parts.

The additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, industry in Canada is getting a lot of notice recently. The technology is gaining interest and attention with new initiatives and developments taking shape. The RAPID event hopes to showcase new and upcoming developments in the industry.

The RAPID Canada show floor will include OEMs, service bureaus, and related technology consultants and

partners. The keynote presentation is on 3D printing for Hollywood, by Jason Lopes, Lead Systems Engineer for Legacy Effects. A panel discussion by the Government of Canadian will look at the “Power of Partnerships.” Panelists include Ursula Gobel of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC); Denis Godin of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC); Milena Sejnoha, of the National Research Council Canada (NRC). They will look at exploring federal initiatives and collaborative projects in additive manufacturing.
