Northside Festival's Innovation Conference investigates 3D printing's many tentacles
While mass manufacturing allows for large-scale production, 3D printing permits the personalisation of products to fit consumer's unique needs. This slow manufacturing, tailor-made trend will be discussed at next week's Northside Innovation Conference in New York, amongst a host of talks on innovation across technology, art and design. Bespoke Design: 3D Printing for the Masses, will highlight how 3D printing is beginning to touch many parts of our lives, whether we realise it or not.
Northside have gathered some of the best brains in the business to speak at the conference. They will include: Nikki Kaufman, the founder of Normal, a brand pioneering 3D printing to create bespoke earphones; Charlie Maddock, director of business development at Shapeways, the world's leading 3D printing service and market place; Kegan Schouwenburg, founder and CEO of SOLS , a company specialising in 3D printed, customized orthotics that align balance and improve posture for each individual user, and Francis Bitoni whose studio focuses on emerging models of mass production and processes for material formation.
The Northside Innovation Conference is a part of the Northside Festival which showcases the best of music, innovation and film. In addition to the conference, the Innovation Expo will see over 10,000 tech and innovation enthusiasts give visitors an up-close and personal look at their projects across technology, art and design.
The Northside Festival and Innovation Conference is taking place in Brooklyn from June 8th-14th. Get a free RSVP to the Innovation Expo here.
