International Conference on Additive Technologies iCAT 2008, Slovenia
17 September 2008 - 18 September 2008
Slovenia
It will take place between September 17th and 18th in Ptuj, the oldest Slovene city with typical medieval character. At all parallel events we will be the guests of the Hotel Primus for the whole week. Authors are kindly invited to prepare papers or products that cover one of the conference topics:
Design for Rapid Manufacturing,
CAD and innovative simulation methods,
Rapid-Prototyping, -Tooling and -Manufacturing technologies, incl. Systems for Quality Control
Materials for RP and RM,
Customer input systems and mass customization
Case studies and best practice examples of RP&T&M,
Education for Rapid Manufacturing
Medical Applications of Rapid Manufacturing
Business Models for Rapid Manufacturing
Invited lectures are
Terry Wohlers, USA: State of the Industry; Phill Dickens, UK: Custom Manufacturing - A Growing Opportunity for Europe;
Ian Gibson, Singapore: Medical Products for Rapid Prototyping - From Prosthetics Design to Organ Printing; Deon de Beer, South Africa: The Impact of Additive Fabrication Technologies on Institutional Research Development and the SA Product Development Community – the CRPM Story; Ian R. Campbell, UK: Designing a new range of products to capitalise on Rapid Manufacturing; Jukka Tuomi, Finland: Incremental Sheet Forming as Rapid Prototyping, Tooling and Manufacturing Method; Gideon N. Levy, Switzerland: Additive Manufacturing - Why is the consequent set up ot total quality managemnt (TQM) an absolute must?;
Alain Bernard, France: Integrated Numerical Rapid Product Development - concepts and examples of application; Andrea E. Reinhardt/Reiner Götzen, Germany:
High volume production based on RM - challenges and solutions.
During the conference you will meet engineers, designers and economists gathered in the same place and sharing different ideas in the global network of RM community and enjoy Ptuj, the history dating back to the times of the Roman Empire and situated in one of famous Slovenian wine-growing regions.Don’t miss the opportunity to become a part of this vibrant world.
