The technological landscape in direct manufacturing, digital imaging, and 3D processing is changing dramatically. 3D technologies are changing how students learn, manufacturers produce goods, and how we deliver healthcare. To fully leverage the benefits of 3D technologies, the Midwest Region is building an infrastructure to facilitate new opportunities between professionals, educators, healthcare providers, engineers, and researchers. The MR3D Symposium is an event that draws attendees from major Universities, K-12 schools, Medical Centers, local and state government, investors, entrepreneurs, and multiple companies across Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and additional states outside of the Midwest.

This year MR3D will be hosted at the incredible Children’s Mercy Park sporting complex, which is home to the Sporting KC men’s soccer team. We are especially excited about our keynote speakers.
