The Porin Development Agency of Rijeka and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rijeka invite you to the one-day congress ‘3D print in medicine and engineering’, which will be held on Thursday, 27 June 2024, starting at 10 a.m. at the Torpedo Production Park of the Porin Development Agency of Rijeka at Milutina Barača 60.
Kvarner and Istria are a highly desirable destination for dental tourism due to their quality, expertise and affordable prices for foreigners. However, the highly developed dental industry of the region offers not only the opportunity to strengthen health tourism, but also to strengthen research and development activities that will, as a result, improve service, speed up processes and reduce costs.
For this reason, the Porin Development Agency of Rijeka, as the professional base of the University of Rijeka, and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rijeka are organising a one-day congress ‘3D print in medicine and engineering’, through which representatives of the academic and entrepreneurial sectors will be introduced to new trends in the possibilities of applying additive manufacturing in the dental industry and medicine.
In addition, the partnership between the Rijeka Development Agency Porin and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rijeka will be presented, thanks to which the equipment will be the Torpedo Production Park Make the Rijeka development agencies Porin available to R&D projects and innovation processes.
In addition to numerous lectures and panel discussions that will cover a variety of topics related to the application of additive technologies in the dental industry, the event will also be able to discuss opportunities for cooperation and how specifically the Rijeka Development Agency Porin and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Rijeka can help them solve everyday challenges. Our goal is to collect feedback from representatives of the dental industry through the event, which will become the basis for some new research and development activities directed towards the dental industry as well as medicine.
At the end of the program, there will also be demonstration examples of 3D printing with examples for medicine, especially the dental industry. Among the equipment stands out EOS M 100, a machine that uses a laser beam to melt and blend fine metallic powder, producing parts very quickly, in small quantities and with high detail resolution making it ideal for use in dental medicine for making dental crowns and bridges.
