Hi all,
Good news for (South) Australians, but others are more than welcome if you happen to be passing through this part of the world in the near future.
3D Printing Forum: The Next Industrial Revolution? - Monday 20 February 2012, Adelaide, SA.
Morning Forum (9am until 1pm)
Speakers from industry, education, research and the creative communities will present on a broad range of topics, from how they are using 3D printers in their work, through to the impact that these technologies are beginning to have on diverse fields including clothes and footwear design, architecture, engineering and construction, automotive, aerospace, and the medical industries.
During the break, participants will get a chance to see 3D printers in action.

I know there isn’t a lot of notice, but it should make for a very interesting day. I’ll be assisting in a presentation of various software available to artists and designers that aren’t the usual CAD options - thus mentioning / demonstrating Blender.

Hope to see some of you there!
(PS. On a bit of a side note for the locals, we obviously didn’t get the Blender user group happening bi-monthly, but I haven’t forgotten.)
