3D Printing Highlighted at Upcoming New York Advanced Design & Manufacturing Event
New Materials and the Latest Techniques Explored at Javits Convention Center in June
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 5, 2015-- 3D printing to personalize surgery is just one of the many new techniques that will be covered in the upcoming 3D printing conferences at UBM Canon's long-running East Coast advanced design and manufacturing event, June 9-11, 2015, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City.
3D Printing for All Industries
On Wednesday, June 10, leading off a day of "Innovations in 3D Printing," Katie Weimer, Vice President, Medical Devices, Healthcare for 3D Systems Corporation, will present a keynote in which she will discuss "3D Printing: Changing the Game in Healthcare." She was responsible for developing Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) for the company, which allows surgeons to create 3D models to personalize the planning of surgeries, and she also has lead in the development of 3D anatomical modeling and advanced imaging techniques.
Following her keynote, she will join Erick Wolf, founder of Airwolf 3D, and Justine Trubey, Vice President, Supply Chain for Shapeways, for a panel discussion on "State of the Industry: 3DP and AM Industry Trends and Opportunities on the Horizon," moderated by Zach Simkin, President of Senvol. These two sessions lead off a full day of 3D printing focus, with "What's Really New in Materials for 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing," and "From Concept to Hybrid Manufacturing: Discovering Workable Scale-Up Strategies," later that day.
3D Printing for the Medical Community
The following day, on Thursday, June 11, the third day of the MD&M conference track will present the day-long "3D Printing for Medical Device Design & Manufacturing," with sessions delving into materials, tissue engineering, and "The Future of 3D Printing from a Physician's Perspective," by Oren M. Tepper, MD, a surgeon in plastic surgery and craniofacial surgery.
This multi-industry New York event attracts people from a broad range of industries, with segments for industrial design and manufacturing (Atlantic Design & Manufacturing), packaging (EastPack), plastics, (PLASTEC East), automation and robotics (ATX East), quality assurance and management (Quality Expo East), medical device design and manufacturing (MD&M East), health and beauty product and brand development (HBA Global). In addition, the pharmaceuticals packaging show (Pharmapack North America) will be in the Javits' River Pavilion on June 9-10.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
