Additive manufacturing in healthcare to take centre stage at RAPID + TCT

Collaboration between device manufacturers, clinicians, technology developers, and researchers in additive manufacturing (AM) will be on full display at the Fort Worth Convention Center during RAPID + TCT, April 23-26.
RAPID + TCT, now in its 28th year, is a leading forum for ideas and showcase of technology in the still growing and ever-evolving world of 3D printing. Additive and advanced manufacturing industry leaders will headline keynote sessions of interest and use to all event attendees.
As one of the fastest-growing AM/3DP application areas, even more, growth is expected for biomedical/medical applications. More than 97 percent of medical AM/3DP professionals expect the use and application to continue to grow (SME Medical AM/3DP Survey, December 2017).
Once again, RAPID + TCT's Medical Manufacturing Innovations Program (MMI) will highlight this growth through conference sessions and another programming. The event has also become a yearly meeting place for workgroups such as the SME Medical Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing Workgroup, the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 3D Printing Special Interest Group, and the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Workgroup 17.
