Wood Innovations 2014 is designed to showcase new and emerging timber treatment technologies and to highlight growth opportunities for existing treatment operations through wood modification and composite materials manufacturing
In Melbourne, Ian Gibson, Professor of Industrial Design at Deakin University, will be presenting. He’s currently spearheading the implementation of the new and ground-breaking Centre for Advanced Design and Engineering Training and calls himself a “3D Printing dinosaur”. Ian started working with the technology way back in 1992 at Nottingham University, where he helped set up the first Rapid Prototyping (as 3DP was called then) research facility in the UK. He’s established a world-class facility in Hong Kong, helped set up the Global Alliance of Rapid Prototyping Associations and has been involved in in the field of tissue engineering and medical applications in Singapore.
