One of the largest 3D printing conventions in the world is happening in downtown Detroit through Thursday evening.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, refers to items being made from a digital file that is designed on a computer; the file then gets sliced into layers that come out of the printer as a 3D object.
This year, more than 400 Additive Manufacturing exhibiting companies will be showcasing their latest technologies, including 3D printed motorcycles, superheroes, medical supplies and more. Over 5,000 experts are in attendance to share their knowledge on the latest innovations in the 3D printing industry.
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers technical community hosts the RAPID + TCT convention. The first clinic that SME held took place in Dearborn in 1987. The event grew over the years into what it is today. The convention style, with exhibits from companies across the nation, began in 1990.
