Celebrating 20 years of the inaugural 3D printing journal at iCAT 2014


Dear delegate,

For the past two decades, Rapid Prototyping Journal has been at the heart of all things 3D printing. As the very first journal dedicated to additive manufacturing, RPJ has been at the vanguard of exciting and surprising developments from around the world, publishing a wide range of seminal articles along the way.

Today, with an explosion of interest in 3D printing and its applications, RPJ is an indispensable resource for anyone connected with the field. Since 2005, papers published in RPJ have been downloaded over 650,000 times, and the journal continues to provide an international perspective on what remains a dynamic and ever-changing area.

iCAT 2014 is proud to host a selection of events to celebrate RPJ’s 20th anniversary as detailed below. We hope you can join us to reflect on how far we’ve come, and begin to imagine how far we may yet go.
