Nowhere else can you get business insights on additive manufacturing applications from companies like Google, Ford, Henkel, Peloton, Northrop Grumman, LEGO, and the ​​Mayo Clinic, along with 3D printer expertise from OEMs, such as Stratasys, EOS, Markforged, GE Additive, Raise3D, UltiMaker, SLM Solutions, and Carbon, at the same event where you’ll hear about the latest industry research and innovations being pursued at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Colorado School of Mines, University of Minnesota, and the University of Technology Sydney.

The TIPE, which stands for technology, industry, people, and economics, is a three-day online conference presented by the non-profit Women in 3D Printing (Wi3DP) and SME, a non-profit association of manufacturing professionals.

Scheduled for January 24-26, the conference, now in its third year, features more than 60 sessions covering additive manufacturing user applications, case studies, business advice, career tips, and inspirational talks on the state of additive manufacturing, presented by an all-female agenda of speakers and panelists.

All genders are welcome to attend the event, which is underwritten by the industry’s top 3D printer and materials manufacturers, plus media outlets, including All3DP.

“This year’s event is our most ambitious yet featuring women who are at the forefront of business and innovation in additive manufacturing,” says Kristin Mulherin, president of Women in 3D Printing and co-founder of ImplementAM and AM-Cubed. Mulherin also serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of All3DP. “Through our annual event, attendees not only leave more informed and inspired, but they form solid industry connections that will help them and their businesses grow.”
