Welcome to EinDruck³ - the interactive trade event on additive manufacturing in Bavaria!

Additive manufacturing has established itself as a manufacturing technology alongside traditional manufacturing processes such as milling, casting or forming and continues to gain in importance. This also means that it has to pick up on current trends and meet challenges. After all, the production of the future is digital and sustainable.

Two trends that need to be addressed are

Data acquisition and use in additive manufacturing: The acquisition and use of data are hotly debated in all sectors and industries. In additive manufacturing in particular, as a digital-based technology, a large amount of data is generated due to the predominantly digital process chain. The profitable use of this treasure trove of data is now the focus of efforts by industry and science, be it for the use of artificial intelligence, for process automation or to implement and use plug & amp; play systems.

Ecological sustainability with and in additive manufacturing: Increasing regulatory requirements and growing customer demands with regard to a "green economy/industry" mean that industrial companies are increasingly concerned with the question of how they can make the ecological footprint of their own production and products more sustainable. The freedom that additive manufacturing offers in terms of optimized material use or the realization of lightweight designs can make a contribution to the "green industry". The challenge here is that the demands on additive manufacturing itself in terms of environmental sustainability are increasing at the same time - for example with regard to the use of alternative materials and recycling.

But what does this mean for additive manufacturing itself? How should these two trends be viewed in the wider context of production? What impact do they have on industry and science? What questions do we need to answer in terms of additive manufacturing?

If you want to exchange ideas and find answers to these questions and want to know how additive manufacturing and 3D printing can make production more ecologically sustainable and what potential and production optimizations lie in the data, then come to EinDruck³! Here you can also exchange ideas with like-minded people and experts on various aspects of additive manufacturing. In order to provide the best possible framework for networking and discussion, the specialist forum will take place as a purely face-to-face event.

Generating knowledge together instead of absorbing knowledge alone.

What do we expect from EinDruck³?

That you and we

  • benefit from new knowledge
  • discuss questions, challenges and impulses with others
  • take home new ideas and contacts

How do we want to achieve this?

Not by listening to one lecture after the next. Passive knowledge transfer is a thing of the past - with EinDruck³, we are taking an active approach to transfer.

  • Impulses and new learning through our keynote and impulse speakers with a focus on expert knowledge on ecological sustainability and data acquisition and use in the context of additive manufacturing.
  • Active, methodically guided exchange: in interactive sessions, you will work together with other experts to find answers to exciting questions at the interfaces of additive manufacturing and ecological sustainability as well as additive manufacturing and data use.

Motto: Creating new knowledge together, generating new impulses and solutions.

Of course, there will also be time for networking - during the breaks and at the evening event, you can maintain old contacts or deepen new ones. You can also look forward to our pre-event program including a company tour and get to know the participants in advance.

Why you should be there:

  • Ecological sustainability and data generation and use in the context of additive manufacturing - two of the most important future trends in additive manufacturing in an exciting format for knowledge transfer and exchange on all aspects of 3D printing.
  • Gain and develop knowledge through and with top-class experts Exchange ideas in a communicative environment: Discover the Ronhof sports park and make new contacts in a unique atmosphere

Artificial intelligence has been finding its way into everyday industrial life for some time now, as it can be used to deal with a wide variety of issues. For example, the technology is used in the optimization of machine capacity, maintenance forecasting and quality prediction. Initial applications in the field of additive manufacturing are no exception; in fact, the fundamentally high level of digitality of the processes makes it easier to provide data. But what is necessary for an effective data basis? Join us to discuss how the potential of AI in additive manufacturing can be fully exploited.

Additive manufacturing offers far-reaching potential, for example in lightweight construction, but the barriers to entry are high from a practical perspective. For example, the variety of processes requires process-specific expertise in order to operate the system due to fundamental process-related differences. Standardization and automation of the printing process and the systems could provide a remedy here and thus promote the widespread use of the technology. But are such plug & play systems even necessary now and in the future? What are the advantages and disadvantages of such systems? The workshop will focus on this topic from the user's perspective.

Can additive manufacturing help to reduce CO2 emissions in production?

The often CO2-intensive production of components can be replaced by a CO2-reduced lightweight construction method with material savings using additive manufacturing. Economical decentralized component production avoids transport routes and also leads to CO2 reduction. In this workshop, we would like to discuss with you how additive manufacturing can contribute to CO2 reduction in production and what hurdles need to be overcome along the way.

Let Heinrich Berthold inspire you and find out about sustainability in the production of ceramic substrates, which serve as the starting material for printed circuit boards. Our expert will show you what solvent-free and CO2-reduced production can look like in industrial implementation.
