September 16 - September 21, 2007
Anchorage, Alaska
colocated with NIP23: International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies
The Conference
Join us in Anchorage for the third International Conference on Digital Fabrication Technologies!
Over the last few years, digital and non-impact printing technologies have enabled new fabrication methods, materials, and applications. By exploiting both traditional non-impact and new printing approaches it is now possible to pattern and printǃÓdigitally fabricateǃÓtwo- and three-dimensional structures at physical scales ranging from nanometers to meters, includ-ing electronic circuits, MEMs and NEMs structures, architectural components, and even biologically-engineered structures. These methods are finding applications in all areas of proto-typing, fabrication, and commercial applicationsǃÓfrom the laboratory bench to the manufacturing floor.
A comprehensive program of invited and contributed papers from leading scientists and engineers is planned along with keynote addresses, tutorials, and an exhibition of digital fabri-cation related products, materials, and equipment. Digital Fabrication 2007 will again be collocated with NIP, thereby providing a unique opportunity for technical professionals in both fields to discuss the advances, synergy, and directions of both technologies.
Collocation
Collocation with NIP23, the 23rd International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies, will allow Digital Fabrication 2007 attendees access to a meeting that has become the preeminent forum for discussions of advances and directions in non-impact and digital printing technologies over the past two decades. NIP23 will offer a comprehensive program of more than 200 contributed papers from leading scientists and engineers along with keynote addresses, sessions of invited papers on special topics, an extensive program of tutorials, discussion panels, a print gallery, and a large exhibit featuring leaders in the areas of digital printing components, products, materials, and equipment. Collocation means that professionals from both fields will have the opportunity to discuss common interests and new technologies, as a way to help develop a new community of scientists and engi-neers focused on extending non-impact printing methods and materials to the emerging area of digital fabrication.
Tutorials
In addition to stimulating technical sessions, Digital Fabrication 2007 attendees will be able to choose from approximately 25 tutorials taught by world-renowned experts on a wide range of digital printing technology subjects. You are sure to find a tutorial of interest that either introduces you to a new field or keeps you up to speed with the latest developments in your field! Be sure to check out the tutorial offerings in the Preliminary Program.
Invitation to Exhibitors
More than 750 digital printing and fabrication industry leaders and technical experts will gather in Anchorage for NIP23 and Digital Fabrication 2007. A highlight of the conference, the exhibit traditionally features more than 50 companies showcasing state-of-the-art printing products and applications, including equipment and materials, inks and toners, papers, films, textiles, and test equipment.
If youǃÙd like to exhibit at NIP23/DF2007 please contact Exhibit Co-chairs Laura Kitzmann (laura.kitzmann@ sensient-tech. com) or Cindy Morgan (cindy.morgan@ inkjetsys.com). You may also contact Donna Smith (dsmith@imaging.org) at IS&T. The exhibit dates for 2007 are Tuesday, September 18th and Wednesday, September 19th.
