1st International Conference on 3D Printing and Transportation

November 20-21, 2019
Keck Center
Washington, DC

Organized by
Transportation Research Board

Sponsored by
TRB Design and Construction Group (AF000), Aviation Group (AV000), Operations and Preservation Group (AH000), Marine Group (AW000), and Freight Systems Group (AT000)

Additive Manufacturing (also known as 3D Printing) can profoundly change the dimensions of our future transportation system.

Right now, industrial sectors are using 3D printing technologies to fabricate products and components more rapidly, and closer to where and when they are needed with more machine automation and less human involvement. 3D printing of large structural systems in the construction sector has already emerged. This offers advantages over conventional construction with efficiencies in staging footprints, less formwork, smaller workforce, improved safety and speed of project delivery.

But, what are the implications for moving different types of freight when manufacturing is less centralized? How will our freight systems need to adapt to shipping or picking-up items over shorter distances? How will supply chains transform the balance of movement and consumption of ingredient materials versus finished products?

Come and find out how this new transformative technology will revolutionize transportation. Join the conversation that will help to shape ongoing research and network with the experts who are applying 3-D technology today.
