Once relegated to rapid prototyping, 3D printing technology has now advanced far beyond the design studio. At NPE 2024: The Plastics Show , 3D printing and additive manufacturing (AM) suppliers will be highlighted in the Advanced Manufacturing Zone , while AM users will take to the stage for Wednesday’s 3D Printing Workshop.
