New Micro Manufacturing Exhibition Gets off to a Flying Start

The rapid take up of exhibition space for MMLive 2008 is testimony to the demand for a dedicated micro manufacturing exhibition. The organisers are delighted to confirm Rainford Precision Machines, Union Tool, and Kern Micro Feinwerktechnik as the show's inaugural headline sponsors.

Also confirmed to exhibit are Rondol Technologies — micro injection moulding equipment, Rofin-Baasel — micro laser cutting technologies, Nikon Industrial Instruments — inspection & measurement, MicroBridge — contract micro manufacturing services, Laser Micro Machining — contract laser manufacturing services, Vision Engineering — inspection & measurement; and Spinner UK — micro cutting and grinding equipment..

Event Director, Mark Blezard, said, "We are also delighted to announce the presence of MINAM who have just confirmed their attendance at the show. MINAM (The European Technology Platform for Micro- and NanoManufacturing) have approximately 400 members from 27 countries in Europe and act as an exchange forum for the topics of industrial manufacturing, materials, equipment and components. Their attendance at MM Live brings a significant source of knowledge and expertise for both visitors and exhibitors to draw upon and adds great value to the overall show experience."

To support the show, the organisers recently launched the complementary website www.micromanu.com and bi-monthly publication "Micro Manufacturing Magazine." Within the first week of the website going live, several hundred accounts have already been opened from manufacturing professionals seeking further information from industry sectors such as: automotive, aerospace, medical and jewellery.

MM Live 2008 will take place on October 21/22, 2008 at the Ricoh Arena and will co-locate alongside TCT 2008, the UK's No.1 Rapid Product Development and Rapid Manufacturing Event

The two events will bring together the latest developments in a wide range of technologies and will offer a one stop shop for engineers looking to source the latest solutions for design, development and manufacturing.
