About iCAT 2018 Conference

The Rapid Prototyping and Innovative Manufacturing Network - RAPIMAN is organising the 7^th International Conference on Additive Technologies that will be held between October 10 and 11, in Maribor, Slovenia.

In the last 12 years, iCAT has gathered many scientists with many different interests and yet, a common passion for inventing, developing and enjoying the possibilities of 3D printing. Especially encouraging was the presence of medical doctors at what was first a purely engineering conference. But with the growth of cooperation between doctors and engineers proving that interdisciplinary approach leads to a better healthcare in general, iCAT has evolved into an interdisciplinary conference that dedicates half of its time to applications of Additive Manufacturing in medicine.

This October we will once again gather additive manufacturing experts, researchers, experienced users, and newcomers in Maribor, Slovenia's 3D printing capital to unveil their latest research and development news.

iCAT 2018's special topics:

• Engineers and Medical Doctors working hand in hand
• Art & Design - expanding creativity with Additive Technologies
