Last year, in April 2014, my partners and I organized the 
To demonstrate these three points we called upon three companies. Growthobjects, a trio of designers from Barcelona who have been experimenting with 3D printing since 2007, helped us show the design conception applied to all the different technologies, by exhibiting the work they have done with FDM, SLA, SLS, SLM, DLMS, binder jetting and other processes. DWS, the leading Italian professional SLA 3D printer manufacturer gave us a prototype of their new 
During five days of conferences, we organized several workshops for all participants to learn more about 3D printing and the possibilities it offered designers. The highlight of the five-day event was the final party, where we presented the new work that Growthobjects had created, from idea, to design, to final product, throughout the event itself: the 
Things seem to be moving along the same lines we had drawn in 2014, and yet they have clearly evolved. Instead of one team of designers using many different technologies, this time around we had four teams of designers presenting different products and visions. Instead of the 123DApp entry level 3D modeling tools, this time around we presented 
Instead of the prototype of a 3D printer, as with last year’s event, this time we presented a finished 3D printer which had been on the market since the beginning of the year. Perhaps even more impressive was that we did not create just one experimental object in less than a week, but an entire collection of jewelry, using the STL models submitted by designer from all over the world. In fact, we 3D printed one of the models during a single day of the exhibit: Italian designer 
We 3D streamed the masterpieces from the 
This time, for the after hours “3D Print Party”, we had four different 3D printers to play with, and each one of them represented a very different approach to 3D printing: the MakerBot 5th Gen (which we received directly from
