Additive Manufactiring 2025 - Review

The Technology Forum combines an exhibit presentation with a topic-specific expert panel. Companies and research institutions specialising in the development and application of additive processes have the opportunity to present their range of services both as exhibitors with selected exhibits and demonstrations and with specialist presentations.

The current motto 'Additive manufacturing - what's next?' is dedicated to the challenges of a now established technology in interaction with conventional manufacturing processes in various industrial application areas.

Sessions in the Technology Forum

  • Session I - Progress and challenges in additive manufacturing
  • Session II - Additive manufacturing applications in the production environment
  • Session III - Component repair
  • Session IV - Digitalisation
  • Session V - Design Freedom
