The world of 3D printing is evolving rapidly, and Bucks County Community College is bringing it to the forefront with the second annual 3D Printing Expo Wednesday and Thursday at the Linksz Pavilion at the Newtown campus.
The dynamic two-day showcase features live demonstrations, presentations by industry leaders, and a design showcase that will highlight some of the latest advancements in additive manufacturing.
The 3D Printing Expo serves as a melting pot for experts, innovators, and enthusiasts from across the tri-state area, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
Attendees will have the unique opportunity to engage with professionals who are shaping the future of 3D printing technology. With the field continuously evolving, the Expo offers an ideal space to explore its applications across a variety of sectors—from healthcare and manufacturing to education and entertainment.
Throughout both days, visitors can expect hands-on demonstrations of the latest 3D printing technologies. Companies like Formlabs, Creaform, and Cimquest will be showing off their cutting-edge machines and software, allowing attendees to see firsthand the power and versatility of modern additive manufacturing.
In addition to live demos, presentations will be led by industry experts and educational leaders who will dive deep into the trends shaping the future of 3D printing.
Key topics will include how additive manufacturing is revolutionizing traditional manufacturing processes, the role of 3D printing in creating custom solutions for industries like healthcare, and the growing use of 3D technologies in education.
The event’s presenters include representatives from leading organizations like Allegheny Educational Systems, Inc., Authentise, Inc., and the New Jersey Innovation Institute, as well as academic institutions such as Rowan University and East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania.
One of the highlights of this year’s Expo is the design showcase, which will feature projects from both established firms and independent innovators. This curated exhibition will demonstrate the wide range of possibilities that 3D printing offers, from architectural models and product prototypes to creative art pieces and medical devices.
Attendees will be able to engage with the creators and gain insight into how these projects came to life using additive manufacturing techniques.
The 3D Printing Expo is more than just a display of new technologies — it is an opportunity to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Bucks County Community College’s commitment to this initiative underscores its role as a leader in fostering innovation and collaboration in the field of additive manufacturing.
