Powder Technology Event

PowdermatriX and MediTech are hosting an event this June to explain and explore issues and developments regarding the use of powder technology in the medical devices industry.

The one-day seminar, taking place on June 29th at the Nottingham Gateway Hotel, will look at current and potential powder technology applications in the medical devices industry, with guest speakers leading discussion on a detailed and varied schedule of topics.

Areas to be covered at the seminar include: use of ceramic and metal powder based materials for dental, orthopaedic and tissue engineering applications, PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coatings, nanostructures for thin film coatings, metal injection moulding and selective laser melting.
