MM LIVE UK 2010
MICRO MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE PROGRAMME

EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE FOR EVERYONE

As befits a cutting edge exhibition, MM Live understands the need to ensure the possibilities and applications that can be achieved by adopting the technologies that are readily apparent to all. To this end there are a range of over 75 presentations over the two days that cover the entire technology spectrum. All seats at these conference sessions or seminars must be pre-booked, this process is embedded in the visitor registration process which can be accessed from the link on this page.

MICRO MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY FORUM

Since its successful launch in 2008, the Micro Manufacturing Technology Conference has grown into a significant two day feature that allows a broader range of topics to be discussed by even more of the industry’s most accomplished professionals. A variety of topics relevant to all manufacturing sectors are covered — from industry overviews to in-depth technical discussions on micro moulding, micro milling, micro EDM, chemical machining, micro measurement, and assembly issues to mention just a few.

The conference is normally heavily subscribed therefore any visitor wishing to attend the Micro Manufacturing Conference must be pre-registered to be guaranteed entry. Visitors registering on the day cannot be guaranteed entry.
