Texas and 3D printing

得克萨斯州是3D打印和技术活动的热门地点。Shapeways首席执行官Peter Weijmarshausen和HP CTO Shane Wall在3月在SXSW的州首府奥斯汀首都,讨论了3D打印是否是下一届工业革命奥什瓦on the expo floor. Even your editor at 3DPI spoke on a panel called, “3D Printed Food: Spam or Paté? You Decide。”

In August the第28届年度国际固体自由形式制造研讨会发生了,第二个月,这座城市主持了第一个千兆变更领导者峰会

Founded in 1968 the LIA is professional society for laser applications and safety, the organization also hosted an event during IMTS in September this year. If you thoughtIMT或本文提到的任何其他事件是2016年期间最好的活动之一,为什么不提名为3D印刷行业奖?
