The advances in conventional printing and the emergence of digital fabrication are both being fueled by the discovery of new materials, novel processes and methods, and easier access to high performance computing and data processing capabilities. For example, by leveraging recent advances in nanotechnology and material science, it is now possible to print high-performance electronic and photovoltaic devices, highly-sensitive chemical and biological sensors, and even biological materials and structures. Nanotechnology has also played a significant role in advancing conventional printing with the introduction of new toners, inks, substrates, and imaging techniques. More recently, the development and application of these new materials and printing methods are enabling new 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies that promise to help launch the next industrial revolution.
Like the printing industry, the NIP and Digital Fabrication conferences continue to evolve. During the last decade, the line that divided the traditional NIP and digital fabrication communities has become increasingly blurred and new ideas and concepts are routinely shared and repurposed. In 2015 this amazing convergence of printing technologies will continue in Portland, Oregon. The goal of this conference is to bring together everyone working in the printing ecosystem - teachers, researchers, developers, practitioners, manufacturers, distributors - to share ideas, learn from each other, and be part of the next wave of the future of printing.
