On 12 February 2015, Sirris and FPS Economy and its Directorate-General of Economic Regulation responsible for the Belgian Office for Intellectual Property (OPRI), along with a series of international partners, are organising an afternoon in Brussels on 3D printing and counterfeiting to deal with the issues and risks confronted by creators, industrial designers and manufacturing companies in the context of the rise of the technologies of 3D printing and additive manufacturing. 

The purpose of the initiative is to highlight the direct interdependency of 3D printing with the legal standards (legislation, doctrines, jurisprudence, etc.) and the emerging technologies intended for the traceability of printable objects and their protection against counterfeiting.  

This bilingual French-English seminar is intended for all professionals already integrating 3D into their thinking:

  • industrialists engaged in additive manufacturing
  • creators of objects and product designers interested in on-demand manufacturing
  • major players in e-commerce
  • insurers and reinsurers
  • public bodies responsible for industrial and/or innovation policies
  • specialists in heritage protection
  • representatives of manufacturers' associations
  • managers of customs and anti-counterfeiting services
  • other regulation and inspection bodies

wanting to deepen their knowledge about issues of protection of intellectual property in 3D printing and/or interested in establishing within their enterprises innovative strategies regarding anti-counterfeiting, the traceability of printable 3D objects and their referencing on specialised markets.
