Possibilities abound in plastics. 3D printing is disrupting how we manufacture, well, everything — shoes, car components, dental devices, prosthetics, casts — and injection molding has seen some fascinating developments as automation and robotics play a larger role.

Innovation is the name of the game right now and PLASTEC West, the largest annual plastics and polymers event, is the stage. Meet leaders in plastics at free sessions and activities at the expo, dig deeper on education at the 3D Printing Innovation Summit, and find the connections and suppliers that will help you improve your plastics and processing capabilities.
