This February past saw the first dedicated expo for 3D printing technology in Russia. The successful 3D Print Expo show in Moscow, was followed by similar events in Kiev, Ukraine and Almaty, Kazakhstan. On the back of this series of events the organisers have brought forward the dates of some of the forthcoming expos and conferences to meet their public popularity and business demand. The forthcoming events, the first of which is next week, will include a return to Moscow as well as the first 3D Print Conference to be held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan and the second conference in Almaty:
23-25 October 2014 — 3D Print Expo, “Sokolniki,”Moscow ECC, Russia
12 February 2015 — 3D Print Conference, Baku,Azerbaijan
16 April 2015 — 3D Print Conference, Almaty, Kazakhstan
The forthcoming 3D Print Expo Moscow will host an exhibition that will feature the products and services of companies such as: 3dquality, Consistent Software Distribution (CSD), DAVID Vision Systems GmbH, iGo3D, Picaso 3D, RuSky Group-SLM, 3D.ru, 3D wax, Irwin, RGT, Megapolis Group (MG), REC, Tyga Print, Fabbers, Colorful World, Atele3d, Witbox Russia, 3dtoday.ru. For your convenience, the full range of exhibitors can be found on the 3D Expo Russia website here.
The 3D Print Expo will be held over the course of three days, each with their own packed program of shows, conferences, awards and activities. The first day will be Business Day, with activities dedicated to business representatives who are considering the potential of 3D printing and scanning technology, and investors seeking to find out more about this increasingly important technoloy set. Topics up for discussion on the Business Day will include:
• The evolution of 3D printing in a variety of industries;
• How 3D technology attracts new customers;
• How a 3D printer can help you to enter into major transactions and obtain greater profits;
• 3D printing as additive manufacturing in industry;
• Legal aspects of 3D printing in application.
October 23 – 24 will witness a thematic conference where attendees can listen to exclusive speeches by national and international experts in the suject field, including. Willem Belfurt: managing partner of De CLERCQ – Netherlands; Ivan Gaydamakin: System Architect at 3D Control Systems – USA; Mario Martinez: the CEO of Grupo XDS – Mexico; Ian Yihu: the president of Shenzhen Esun Industrial Co., Ltd. – China; Olga Berezhnova: the commercial director of Cybercom Ltd – Russia; and more.
October 24 – 25 will see the exhibition open its doors to the wider public, to all interested in 3D printing, who will have the chance to participate in a range of interesting, unsual and exciting activities:
• Master classes to test 3D equipment, purchase exhibition samples, print your own unique souvenir
• A chocolate festival, where visitors can admire the work of both classical chocolatiers and 3D printers, printing with chocolate;
• An art gallery that introduces unique objects of quality art created with the help of 3D technologies — even including furniture being printed by a 3D printer!
• A fashion show of unique 3D printed clothing and accessories;
