The second edition of the Inside 3D printing Conference and Expo concluded recently in Mumbai. Having quickly grown to become the largest professional platform for the Additive Manufacturing fraternity in India, I3DP Mumbai had all the elements to grasp the awe and interests of the audience.

Imaginarium, as the lead patron had a gleaming showcase demonstrating the applications of 3D printing in different verticals. From Precious jewellery to precision-engineered prototypes, and patient-specific Anatomical models, the booth reflected how this technology holds a major role in product development and Imaginarium’s range of services and support to help creativity reach new horizons.

Of the major attractions of the event were the customized bobble head figurines that featured in the latest MP Tourism ad. The figurines which resemble tin-toys to give the viewer a feeling of pleasant reminiscence and nostalgia, were actually made using 3D printing. Learn more about their journey: https://goo.gl/opjlJQ

A 3D printed mannequin from Gavin Miguel was live at the booth. “Breathing life to my designs with 3D printing has only given me scope to dream the unthinkable. My association with Imaginarium on this project is a new chapter, a new beginning yet to unfold in future,” believes the bespoke designer.

At the Metamorphosis Experience zone visitors couldn’t seem to get enough of 3D printing. With an absolute educational front, people were elated to try their hands on something that had been encrypted as Science fiction by a layman till date. Injecting wax into molds was fun and so was getting to see an accessory ‘printed’, live! A hands-on experience with 3D printed guides to make precise cuts and incisions during a surgery, gave them a clearer picture of how technology is revolutionizing the medical and healthcare industry for a better future.

The conference sessions saw eminent personalities discuss the role of additive manufacturing in changing businesses, industrial, and medical applications. The growing demand for 3D printers in Indian market could be seen with an increase in the number of booths as compared to previous year. Exclusive networking opportunities and keynote presentations marked the day with the Indian 3D printing community coming together to build a better tomorrow.

The Inside 3D Printing Conference and Expo concluded recently in Mumbai had all the elements of dazzle and vigor, earning the awes of audience in a spectacular way. Held for the first time in India, the event featured two days of conference sessions, and an expo showcasing the potential of technology in diverse industries.

Imaginarium was extremely delighted to be at this platform as the lead patron. As country’s first dedicated event for the additive manufacturing industry, I3DP over a course of two days featured keynote presentations from experts in fields like medical, business, and manufacturing, and a 3D-print experience zone that gave visitors a brief insight into the world of 3D printing. Not to forget one of the biggest attractions of the event- India’s first gig with 3D printed instruments left the visitors amazed.

The discussion panel in medical category talked about how from 3D printed implants to models and joint replacements, 3D printing is improving healthcare and where does India stand today in embracing this opportunity. While experts from the business industry talked about ways of connecting every pocket of technology, innovation and creativity to unleash the potential of 3D printing, the manufacturing track discussed the relevance of a service bureau even when every household would own a 3D printer.

The exhibition had the elements of grandeur presenting the capabilities of 3D printing from a wide range of industry verticals. From a 3D printed air box for Formula race car, to gold plated accessories, to 3D printed implants, and what not, the expo captured the attention of audience like never before.  

Metamorphosis Café, powered by Imaginarium which focuses on supporting any idea or concept around 3D printing, had a phenomenal response. Attendees were given a demonstration of the way technology functions and how it empowers designing without constraints.

Being able to watch themselves in a virtual environment post a scanning session and witnessing the building of products layer-by-layer, simply added to the visitors’ curiosity about the frontiers to which 3DP applications can be taken.

With a plethora of interactive conference sessions, inspiring keynote presentations, and exclusive networking opportunities, I3DP brought the whole 3D printing community in India together like never before, to exchange ideas and bring them to life, in a sustainable way.
