On March 2nd, 2011, the company Mikrocentrum is organising a (trade) fair on rapid technology, rapid manufacturing, 3d-printing (additive manufacturing) and related technologies. The event is mainly for business to business applications but also for personal (consumer) applications.
Although probably only a few puzzles will be shown, this is a great event for puzzle designers and puzzle collectors interested in 3d-printing.

RapidPro combines a conference (plenary and parallel sessions with lectures) with an exhibition with more than 30 exhibitors. There will be demo’s and a small art-related exhibition.

Admission is free of charge, but it is required to apply for registration in advance.
At present, already more than 700 visitors have registered.

The event is located in Veldhoven, near Eindhoven in the southern part of the Netherlands.
For more information or registration, see http://www.rapidpro.nl/visitors-information/ or contact me via pm.
