Design in Plastics 2017
 

Better product development. Collaboratively.

Design in Plastics is a business conference that focuses on the challenges and rewards of communication and collaboration between the disciplines of design, engineering, manufacturing, marketing and R&D—all with a view to improving product development.

Design in Plastics 2017 will take place at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and features presentations, panels and workshops on materials, processes, collaboration, design thinking, biomimicry, innovation management, intellectual property protection, sustainability, 3D printing, future trends and more.
