Seminars & webinars

Formnext offers a wide range of opportunities for professional development and knowledge exchange.

Seminar series Discover3DPrinting – Explore the future of manufacturing.

II_Seminare_Discover3DPrinting
  • What exactly is 3D Printing, and how does differ from traditional manufacturing?
  • What innovative solutions can 3D Printing bring to your current manufacturing challenges?
  • How expensive or complicated is it to start using 3D Printing in a business setting?

If you have ever asked one of these questions, you should participate in the seminar.

"Brief but comprehensive introduction into the topic, clarifies terms and technologies, helps to evaluate the potentials for one's own business."

"Profound and hands-on overview of current AM technologies and applications, presented in a very easy to follow style. Also included actually manufactured small parts that were distributed in the audience for us to touch and inspect closely. Highly recommended seminar."

"The seminar gives an overall view of the state of the art of the AM technology, its application and challenges, giving enough knowledge to decide whether or not to deepen the study of this business opportunity or not."

The seminar

Independent specialists from ACAM – Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing will give answers for your entry into the world of 3D Printing at the Application Stage (hall 11.1-E69).

The Discover3DPrinting seminar is designed for you if you're considering Additive Manufacturing for your production and are looking for support with the first steps. 

What topics to expect:

  • The next big thing - Hype, benefits and typical business cases
  • Technology overview - What is possible with todays’ technologies?
  • Applying AM profitably - Success and failure stories
  • AM for your sector - Concrete approaches and new ideas

Afterwards, participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific questions in more detail with ACAM specialists in an individual consultation and discuss further topics with the corresponding exhibitors on their tour of the fair.
