Additive Manufacturing Summit: Medical, Bioprinting, and Drug Discovery
After a highly successful inaugural event in May of 2014 that focused on Medical and Healthcare, we looked further into your feedback and suggestions to expand our topic focus.
You asked, we listened!
We are proud to present this years 2015
Additive Manufacturing Summit for Medical, Bioprinting and Drug Discovery. We recognize that while the additive manufacturing process has been utilized by the industry for decades, there are many ground breaking technologies, techniques, materials, and research occurring that is driving advancements in 2015 and beyond. Whether your organization is looking to polish and perfect your existing procedures, or make the business case for implementing additive manufacturing into your day-to-day, this is your must attend event!
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you cannot afford to miss out on attending this event:
- Can you benefit from an in-depth assessment of the fundamentals of AM, and how to make the business case for either implementing the process or improving operations to stay ahead of the curve?
- Are you looking to hear about innovation in design for successful additive manufacturing of implantable and non-implantable medical devices?
- Are you following the latest research and development efforts surrounding 3D printing for soft materials for bioprinting and tissue engineering?
- Is your organization looking to leverage new aspects of AM, and overcome challenges associated with printing materials for biocompatible scaffolds?
- Would you benefit from hearing the best practices for materials management from selection to storage?
- Is your organization working towards the reduction of hit-to-lead time for drug discovery, and looking to analyze first hand data behind the process?
What topics will be covered?
- FDA technical perspectives on addivitve manufacturing for the medical industry; initial printing design, printing, and post printing operations
- Standardizing print finishing steps, verification of final procedures that will successfully meet unique specifications
- Design considerations for successful additvie manufacturing of implantable and non implantable medical devices
- Challenges of validation and verification of printed devices; metrics behind destructive vs non-destructive testing methods
- Orthopaedic perspective; limitations and considerations for structural design aspects of medical devices
- Best practices for materials management from selection to storage; key considerations for handling that can effet performance capability
- DMLS for rapid additive manufacturing; functionality, weight reduction and building out a repeatable process for device creation
- Blown powder technology for design and engeerign prototypes, final production elements that can enhance product stability
And many more!
