EnvisionTEC is pleased to announce that they have been awarded "Best in Show" for their exhibit at this week's RAPID 2014 Conference and Exhibition at Cobo Center in Detroit. The 2014 RAPID was the largest in the conference's 24-year history with over 120 exhibitors and attendance numbering over 5,000 of the world's foremost experts in 3D printing.
Produced by SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers), RAPID is the 3D printing industry's longest-running trade event and this year was co-located with new trade show The Big M and also the International Manufacturing Research Conference. SME's Rapid Technologies & Additive Manufacturing Community (RTAM) sponsored the Best in Show Award which recognized the winning exhibit for being interactive, technically and aesthetically impressive, and visually appealing and engaging. Conference and show attendees (exhibitors excluded) received ballots with their registration credentials and EnvisionTEC's exhibit was chosen by popular vote.
EnvisionTEC's exhibit showcased a wide variety of 3D printed samples covering a range of applications. The company displayed several versions of its popular Perfactory® Micro family, a Perfactory® 4 Standard featuring its Perfactory® technology, two examples of its latest 3SP™ technology, the ULTRA® 3SP™ and the Xede® 3SP™, as well as its 3D-Bioplotter®.
Significant focus was placed at this year's conference on the innovation and growth of additive manufacturing for the medical and dental industries. EnvisionTEC has developed targeted solutions for both of these industries and is a respected leader for its innovated approaches to using 3D printing to bring these industries new machinery, techniques, and materials. One of EnvisionTEC's best-known innovations, the 3D-Bioplotter®, was presented at the show, drawing interest from attendees to view the new Developer's Series version and hear about the research currently being done using the technology. Dr. Ramille Shah, renowned head of the Tissue Engineering and Additive Manufacturing Lab at Northwestern University, gave a presentation at RAPID regarding her work with the 3D-Bioplotter®.
