Doug Costlow (Bridgestone) presented on 3D Printing which included a brief history, explanation of the process, types of materials and printers available, costs, applications, 3d modeling options, and an explanation of the work flow of running a printer.

He brought his printer to do a demo and some parts for display. There was plenty of time for questions and mingling too.

Representatives from Filaco (producer/distributor of filaments) plan to attend. They introduced and explained their company and stayed and talked with attendees as well.

If you are new to 3D printing, wikipedia defines it thus:

3D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes.
