The TCT 06 conference, which will take place at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon next September, is gearing up to be a milestone event.
The TCT 06 conference, which will take place at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon next September, is gearing up to be a milestone event.
TCT is breaking new ground by dedicating its two day conference to rapid manufacturing.
Although many manufacturers have now adopted rapid product development techniques, the underlying technologies are moving at an even faster pace.
As materials and RP techniques evolve, new applications in rapid manufacturing are beginning to emerge, and TCT 06 will be the place to learn of these first hand.
The aim of this conference is not just to have delegates sit for two days, listening to industry experts telling them how to do their jobs better.
The aim of TCT 06 is to promote a new way of manufacturing products that will realistically and dramatically improve product design and development processes.
Seating up to 250 OEM professionals, the conference will deliver live case studies from manufacturers already using rapid manufacturing techniques and who have already structured their design-to-market cycle around these technologies and delegates will hear firsthand about the benefits that this has brought.
"The conference programme is designed to offer delegates a real business opportunity in terms of evaluating their current product development processes and learning about the true potential of rapid manufacturing", commented Mark Blezard, Joint Managing Director of Rapid News Publications.
"The technology advances really can offer manufacturers greater flexibility in product launches and therefore a tremendous competitive edge in their marketplace".
Prospective delegates and visitors to the show should note the dates in their new 2006 diaries now, as this is an event that should not be missed by any forward-thinking company that wants to improve time to market and get there ahead of its competitors.
Rapid News would also still welcome any paper submissions from parties interested in presenting at the 2006 conference.
Specific subject areas include: technology trends in rapid manufacturing; production materials for rapid manufacturing; focus on real-world applications of rapid manufacturing; and rapid manufacturing - emerging applications.
All submissions must be nonpromotional in content and presented by companies that are researching and/or using the technologies.
All papers will be reviewed by an external committee to ensure they meet the necessary and exacting requirements of TCT.
No vendor papers will be accepted.
