As always, the 3DSUG will host a Vendor Fair where attendees can meet with manufacturers, suppliers and rapid prototyping service bureaus to increase their growing network of 3DSUG peers. This year’s Vendor Fair is scheduled for the evenings of April 25 and 26 in the Hilton Buffalo Thunder. The four-day conference will feature technical presentations and hands-on training sessions.

“3DSUG is the most technical oriented event in North America where users of SLA and SLS equipment share applications and best practices to advance these two additive manufacturing technologies,” said 3DSUG chairperson Luis Folgar. \”The 2010 event is likely to draw the largest, most qualified and most diverse crowd ever as we continue to expand our content and open the doors to include new applications, better uses of equipment and certificates of completion for training sessions. It\’s exciting to be a sponsor and participant of such a well-regarded event with an international audience.\”
