Medical Design & Manufacturing East, or MD&M, is the East Coast's biggest medical technology event. This year, the expo was held in New York's Javits Convention Center. The event brought in hundreds of companies from all around the United States, including Johnson & Johnson, 3M Medical Materials & Technologies, Abbott, and many more exhibitors.

Exhibitors show off the advancements they've made in the design and manufacturing industry, with plastics, design engineering, automation, quality, and packaging. Each company has backgrounds in one or more specific fields including 3D printing, biomaterials, injection molding, medical packaging, and more.

Check out these photo highlights from the event.

1. Mold making

Who would've thought Canon used injection molding to make their cameras?

2. Smartscope

This smartscope is used to test quality of manufactured parts.

3. Materials

Materials are shown in different colors to highlight their differences.

4. Microfluidics

These are basically labs on chips! Natech Plastics has microfluidic chips that can be used to analyze blood or DNA.

5. Odd Parts

The magic of manufacturing is shown through these parts.

6. Bright Display

We can thank the marketing team for this bright display that shows off the company's pride.

7. Free candy

Nothing like free candy at an event to reel people in to talk to you.

8. We build success

IMET are specialists in electronics engineering and PCB assembly.

9. Technology imitates art

These aren't from the MoMa, but they look so artistic. Another great addition to the MD&M exhibits.

10. Technology imitates toys

These parts may resemble legos or fancy soap, depending on how you look at it.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
