Next week HCx3DP – a group of New Yorkers exploring the intersection of HealthCare and 3D Printing – will hold a live meet up wth a roundtable featuring medical devices and biotech.
Industry representatives with expertise in the field will each present a short talk which is followed by a group discussion. Speakers include:

Potomac integrates 3D Printing with laser and CNC micromachining as well as other techniques for fabricating on micron spatial scales.
Sylvain Preumont: Founder & Director of iMakr of London and New York City. His innovative retail operations foreshadow how this rapidly developing 3DP segment of DIY/DIT end-users, makers, consumers and prosumers are likely to support, lead and invent 3D Printing’s future. We foresee a retail-driven marketplace for DIY Healthcare participants and players—especially with potential strategic alliances with new HC communities like Maker Nurses.
