The UK Welcomes an Integrative 3D Printing Event

The Digical Show is set to make its first appearance September 30th, and will be showcasing a wide range of innovations and new products, as well as many other interesting and inventive things to see.

This UK based event has been organised with the intention of bringing together exhibitors, speakers and actual products which are usually hidden away in the depths of internet shopping sites and distributors. It’s easy enough to look up printer on the market online, but to have a chance to see them at work and be able to physically compare them and see the current status of he industry is not only incredibly useful, but its also pretty interesting to walk around and take in. It may well be one of the first of these events to appear in the UK, which saves a lot of UK based business representatives and fans alike from having to travel too far to see it all.

  • And others

It isn’t just a matter of wandering around and looking at things either, there’s plenty of activities that you can get involved in.
