You may be a bit familiar with the Materialise World Conference (MWC) from our speaker spotlights series, but now we’ll give you the full 411 of what you can expect in Brussels in just a few weeks.
The MWC 2015 in a Nutshell This year’s MWC, which coincides with our 25th anniversary, welcomes all the world's leading thinkers and doers involved in 3D printing, from clinical, to biomedical, to industrial, to consumer applications, to meet and exchange ideas of how 3D Printing can make a difference in their communities by creating a better and healthier world. At the MWC, participants and attendees will be given the unique opportunity to learn about what 3D printing offers and how it is improving lives around the globe. In addition to being sponsored by the leading players in the industry, including EOS, Stratasys and HP, the MWC will also bring together the greatest minds in 3D printing to tell their stories, share their visions and foster further innovation across four different summits that focus on where the technology is in highest demand. The MWC will kick-off with dynamic keynote speakers including:
Mimics® Innovation Summit The Mimics Innovation Summit will inspire attendees through presentations covering the most cutting edge applications and cases, presented by renowned biomedical engineers, academics and clinicians. With a central theme of engineering on anatomy and 3D printing for research and medical communities, attendees will be given the unique opportunity to connect with these industry leaders and share their work with other attendees from around the world. Become a part of the Mimics Innovation Summit and experience a community of innovators who make 3D printing relevant for the biomedical applications of tomorrow.
