The conference is an interdisciplinary event, mainly aimed at applicable solutions in Additive Manufacturing. These include technical and biomedical solutions of practical problems with the only objective; using new technology to simplify traditional approaches or to invent new solutions.

Since the 2nd iCAT the conference attracts many medical personnel and has become one of the important educational events for medical doctors wishing to broaden their knowledge and introduce AM into their surgical practice.

The conference is supported by many international initiatives ranging from GARPA – Global Alliance of Rapid Prototyping Associations to technological platforms at

EC. The conference has also been supported by Wohlers Associates, with Terry Wohlers being the keynote speaker in most of the conferences.

The conference has been accompanied by several events:

→Exhibition of Additive Manufacturing devices by their producers (3D printers and High End AM systems)

→Award ceremony (Rapid Prototyping Journal Best paper Award, Best Young Scientist Award)

→Workshops
