There are few industries in which 3D printing hasn’t had an impact by now. Some of the most significant impact, however, has come in the fields of medicine and dentistry. Medical and dental professionals everywhere are taking serious looks at the technology and what it can bring to their practices, as stories continue to emerge about everything from 3D printed dental molds to 3D printed vertebrae. There’s no turning back at this point – 3D printing is part of medicine and dentistry, and its impact is only getting stronger.

As the technology continues to infiltrate these fields, many professionals are asking themselves how they can take advantage of what 3D printing offers. So on January 22 and 23, 2018, we will be teaming up with SmarTech Markets Publishing to present Additive Manufacturing Strategies, a two-day business- and investment-focused summit with an emphasis on medicine and dentistry. The conference will help managers, entrepreneurs and investors to see the best, most profitable opportunities in 3D printed medical and dental applications, and will take a look at 3D printed prosthetics, implants, medical models and personal medicine, as well as dental devices.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from several experts in healthcare and the medical device industry, as well as academia and the investment community. Several speakers were announced last month, but more have been added since then, with others still to come. Recently added speakers include:

Tom Barrett
President, DiSanto Technology (GE Additive)
Kenneth Church
CEO, nScrypt Inc.
Lee Dockstader
Director of Vertical Market Development, HP Inc.
Adam W. Feinberg
Associate Professor, Carnegie Mellon University

That brings the total number of speakers to 22, with more to be added. A lot of information is going to be presented in this two-day conference, and attendees can expect to get an idea of what 3D printing applications are useful now and will be in the future, as well as gain an understanding of revenue expectations and value chains from 3D printing in medicine and dentistry. They will learn in which markets bioprinting companies can expect to make money, and how supply chains in medicine and dentistry will be disrupted by 3D printing. They will also learn more about regulatory requirements affecting 3D printing in medicine and dentistry, plus a lot more.

Additive Manufacturing Strategies will be taking place at the Army and Navy Club in Washington, D.C. Registration is now open, and if you register by November 15, you can get 25% off the price of admission. Passes are available for both days or either day.
