Lightway GmbH shows Steam Distributor at the AG AM Showcase Area (Hall 12.0 B01) at Formnext 2024, which takes place from November 19 to 22, 2024 in Frankfurt. In the Showcase Area, we will be exhibiting Enable parts from our member companies.
At our Show Case Area in hall 12.0 booth B01 we will show Enable parts of our member companies. Replique GmbH will show high containment double valve systems, which are used for the safe transfer of powder raw materials.
Gefertec GmbH will be exhibiting a yaw damper bracket at the Formnext Showcase Area of the Additive Manufacturing Working Group in Hall 12.0 Stand B01. At the showcase area, we will demonstrate how AM serves as an enabler for new possibilities.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a horizontal key technology for numerous industries in the high-end sector. Its use makes processes more resource-efficient and sustainable, shortens product development cycles, facilitates assembly and maintenance, and shortens delivery times and routes.
The EU research program "Made in Europe" not only offers a dialogue platform for topics related to Industry 4.0, but also an opportunity to participate in EU projects. One focus here is the circular economy.
The Working Group AM Show Case Area at Formnext 2023
Board and technology working groups have prioritized the topic of sustainability in the context of AM. What is really sustainable about AM? Which system boundaries are considered? Facts & data on BestPractice examples will provide an overview.
At regular meetings, the Industrialization Working Group examines ways of using additive manufacturing on an industrial scale.
Successful working group on the new manufacturing technology in the VDMA
The AM network in VDMA and the conference trade fair in Erfurt agree to cooperate. VDMA is conceptual sponsor of rapid.tech 3D since april 2023
Open to companies that are active in the field of additive manufacturing processes
List of Germany-wide continuing education offerings from educational institutions, universities and institutes.
The beginning was made with individually manufactured complex components: With the help of additive manufacturing processes, a new world of production possibilities opened up years ago. The experiments with prototypes have become an established technology that is also increasingly being used in series production.
