Symposium

De Montfort University hosted the first international Rapid Prototyping conference in 2005. This new event aims to bring together practitioners and academics, to develop a vision for these technologies and their future role in design, craft, and the fine arts and to examine the changing creative and cultural roles the new technology implies.

Inside Out is a major event consisting of a 2-day international symposium and workshop on 23rd and 24th March 2009. The conference fully integrates theory and practice, combining workshop sessions with academic papers including 2 keynotes. In addition it includes a call for the Inside Out virtual exchange exhibition*, together with a limited preview. it will provide opportunities for rich interaction and discourse between participants.
