Plastec West

Nearly every product in our lives is constructed from or designed on equipment that uses plastics and polymers. This event showcases the latest materials and manufacturing processes, including injection molding and rapid additive prototyping. Even engineers in logistics, automation, and medical industries rely heavily on plastic innovation.

D&M West

Design and manufacturing is a process that evolves from initial conceptualization through prototyping all the way to final manufacturing, with a great deal of effort spent on rapid 3D prototyping these days. Along the way, software is involved in every step, including CAD, PLM, and even testing applications.
