Summer may be over, but 3D Printshow California will brighten your gloom. Learn and mingle at a fantastic festival of digital fabrication.
There will be the obligatory 3D selfie booths, as well as demonstrations of live 3D furniture printing from the show floor. And if you’re seeking out something truly cutting edge, the organisers promise a gallery of something called “bio-futurist art”.
There’s also a 3D printing conference series offering fast-track orientation on a range of key topics. On Friday, Business: Progressing Perceptions looks at innovative applications for 3D printing specifically for manufacturing, retail and design. On Saturday, Design: Parameters, Projects and Products will help navigate design applications, and Newcomer: An Introduction will cover all the basics of printing.
