At 3D Print Expo a scientist will tell about the use of ceramic materials in 3D printing

3D printing using ceramics and composites allows creating singularly beautiful and functional devices of all possible shapes. You can learn about the subtleties of additive manufacturing with the help of these expandable materials at the largest in the CIS region professional event in the sphere of 3D printing – 3D Print Expo 2016.

On 17-18 November ECC Sokolniki will host the IV annual international exhibition of innovative additive technologies 3D Print Expo. The event will feature the biggest in the CIS countries industry conference, where presentations will be given by the best specialists in the sphere of 3D printing.

Among them is Vladimir Promakhov – senior scientist of the Tomsk State University and representative of InTech-M LLC.

On the first conference day – November 17 – the specialist will cover the topic “Ceramic and composite materials in additive manufacturing”.

Speaker will touch the following issues:

• international  classification of additive technologies;
• modern equipment for 3D printing using ceramic and composite materials;
• characteristics and properties of modern expandable materials, difficulties related to synthesis of powders and products;
• industrial 3D printing using ceramic and composite materials;
• comparative analysis of foreign experience in the development of additive technologies.
