TCT Live 2009 Rapid Manufacturing Conference

Cheshire, UK, 5th January 2009: The Rapid Manufacturing Conference will be a featured highlight of the TCT Live 2009 programme. A successful and much-respected event, now in its 14th year, the conference will focus solely on the application of rapid manufacturing — the production of end use parts using additive layer manufacturing technologies. With more and more companies realising the benefits of rapid manufacturing in terms of time and costs of production, there has never been a better time to share and learn about this technology.

The event organisers are now inviting paper submissions for its 2009 programme. The conference, which will once again take place at the prestigious and well-positioned Ricoh Arena in Coventry 20th–21st October 2009, will be fully dedicated to the applications of Rapid Manufacturing technologies together with the associated business issues.

The Conference Manager would welcome any paper submissions from parties interested in presenting at the TCT 2009 conference. Only papers that present a definitive application of RM — using additive fabrication — should be submitted. The paper should consider the design issues, the business benefits in terms of time-to-market and financial objectives, material issues and part performance.
