SPI expanding 3D printing pavilion at NPE2015

The 3D printing section of the upcoming NPE2015 trade show just got larger, as show management is expanding floor space to accommodate new exhibitors.

With eighteen companies already planning to exhibit in the NPE3D pavilion at NPE2015, show producer the Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI) has added eight more booths to the NPE3D pavilion. “From toolmakers to processors to brand owners, many in the plastics industry have a need to know about recent developments in 3D printing,” said Brad Williams, SPI’s director of sales and marketing. “NPE2015 will provide the marketplace an opportunity to discuss this technology, its current applications, and the future possibilities.”
