Optimise everything: DEVELOP3D LIVE | March 20

With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, VR and AR, together with generative design and additive manufacturing, the world of design and production is on the cusp of breakthroughs to deliver truly optimised products.

DEVELOP3D LIVE in Warwick Arts Centre, Warwick University, 20th March 2018, will explore how we can take advantage of new technologies to benefit product design. This will lead to smarter, more efficient and effective products from dynamic design teams. From the world of custom vehicles, designed with generative and AI design tools, built using large scale metal additive manufacturing at Hackrod, to the development of the luxurious fully electric vehicles of the future with Lucid Motors – delegates will see some stunning technologies which will change the way we design this year.

The conference agenda brings together some of the leading practitioners and technologists in the fields of additive manufacturing, visualisation, product development technology, There will be valuable guidance on how to gain control over ever more complex data and expert advice for startups.

The Additive Manufacturing session will focus on the next generation of tools to ensure your organisation is equipped with the best technology and processes - including new materials, new processes, micro lattice structures, mass reduction, computational techniques for optimal design and preparing your parts for production. We’ll also explore how the same techniques can be applied to more traditional forms of manufacturing.

Visualisation will explore the rich potential for high-end photorealistic rendering, augmented and virtual reality and help visitors to discover how we can use these technologies to better understand our future products’ performance and appearance, guide material choices and finish to achieve the desired perceived quality.

Alongside this, we’ll have 70+ exhibitors to show off their technology solutions, their services and discuss how they can help you achieve your goals in the coming year.

The event is free to all and tickets are available at www.develop3dlive.com
