Get together to synergize “HCx3DP”--Multiply Healthcare By 3D Printing!--in NYC…

Welcome HCx3DP Synergist!

(...present or prospective...)

Our "HCx3DP New York" Meetup---HCx3DP stands for "Healthcare Multiplied by 3D Printing"---is designed to help grow a community of Metro NYC "HCx3DP Synergists." Together, we will strive to discover, learn, exchange and advance personal, commercial and common-good knowledge about the new, important and valuable at the exciting and empowering intersection of HC & 3DP in our New York City. (For further background on our Meetup directions (and planned "ecosystem"), link to my Blog post of 27 October: "HCx3DP New York: The Launch of 'Healthcare Multiplied By 3D Printing' in the Capital of Healthcare & 3DP (http://nyc3dp.com/hcx3dp-new-york-launch-healthcare-multiplied-3d-printing-capital-healthcare-3dp/)...")

Best!
