Outstanding 3D Achievements

Production is becoming ever more flexible, diversified and decentralized. Without doubt, additive manufacturing processes make a crucial contribution to this, also initiating the transformation from production-based design to design-driven production. In this article, the 3D printing service provider FIT outlines a best-practice panorama of current technologies.

Almost at Pre-Pandemic Levels

The pathways to plastics can be many – even metalworking in the case of AIM3D. That is what first got this start-up up and running. Fast forward to now and the young Rostock company can cover both bases.

Versatile: the 3D printer developed by this young company can process virtually all fusible materials.

Medical Applications of Additive Manufacturing

Arburg Plastic Freeforming is predestined for the additive manufacturing of medtech components. The associated Freeformer-type additive manufacturing systems process the same plastic pellets that are used in injection molding. That makes the open systems very economical to use.

In the AKF process, resorbable original materials such a plate-implants similar to bone, can be manufactured. They are gradually replaced by endogenous tissue

New Possibilities for Use  in the Human Body

3D printing is a fast-growing market, opening up completely new product and manufacturing options for customers and industry. The newly developed SEAM process significantly extends the options for the efficient manufacture of printed components. An impression of this is conveyed by the example of a fiber-reinforced clamping fixture.

Fiber-reinforced plastic components, including those for load-bearing areas, are established alternatives to metals in vehicle construction. It is not just their low specific weight that makes them interesting, but also their acoustic properties, which reduce noise transmission.

Continued Success with Considerably More Exhibitors

More than 690 exhibitors with a booked gross exhibition space of over 50,000 m² have already registered to exhibit at the world‘s leading trade fair dedicated to additive manufacturing and modern industrial production.

Formnext had already exceeded the final number of exhibitors at the event in 2021 several months before it took place. It has also increased the gross exhibition space. At the same time, Formnext 2022 promises an extensive program of supporting events that will contain both familiar and new highlights.

Following the very promising return of the in-person event last year, Formnext will continue this successful development in 2022: More than 690 exhibitors with a booked gross exhibition space of over 50,000 m² (plus 34 %) have already registered to exhibit at the world‘s leading trade fair dedicated to additive manufacturing and modern industrial production. Equally impressive is its very high degree of internationality (59%).

The global elite of additive manufacturing has already registered to exhibit at the in-person event, including companies such as 3D Systems, Additive Industries, AddUp, Arburg, BigRep, Carbon, Desktop Metal, DMG Mori, Dyemansion, EOS, Evonik, Farsoon, Formlabs, GE Additive, HP, Keyence, Markforged, Materialise, Renishaw, Ricoh, Siemens, Sisma, SLM Solutions Group, Stratasys, Trumpf, Voxeljet, Xerox, XJet and Zeiss. In addition, numerous well-known international corporations, including BASF, Covestro, Evonik, GKN Sinter Metals Components, Höganäs, Linde, Mitsubishi Chemical, Oerlikon, Sandvik and many more, will showcase their solutions along the entire process chain.

France is one of the most important European countries in additive manufacturing and has had a strong presence at Formnext for many years now. This year, more than thirty French companies, associations and research institutes will exhibit at Formnext and present their range of services to an international audience of experts.

The French AM industry will showcase a very diverse portfolio of products and services along the entire process chain. Among them are internationally established AM giants such as Addup, numerous highly innovative young companies such as Lynxter, Pollen AM and others, as well as renowned industrial companies such as Arkema, BINC Industries, Constellium and Granges for which additive manufacturing is playing an increasingly important role.

In France, not only the strong aerospace and automotive industries offer promising applications for additive manufacturing, but also construction and architecture, viticulture, medicine and many more. French partners and important AM associations, regions and research institutions will also be present at Formnext, with France Additive, Cimes, CCI Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the Carnot network for additive manufacturing all in attendance.

The second day of Formnext 2022 (Wednesday, November 16, 2022) will be dedicated to the partner country, France, including partner presentations by Cimes and France Additive, a visit by a French delegation, and other events. A first taste of Formnext will also be provided by an industry event and networking reception in Grenoble on September 22, 2022. This event will be hosted by Cimes and partnered by Formnext.

Formnext will take place in Halls 11 and 12, the most modern part of the Frankfurt exhibition grounds. The diverse program of supporting events will also see the continuation of some established events that have been expanded upon. For example, the start-up challenge, which honors innovative and viable business ideas from young companies, will take place for the eighth time. The exhibitors in the start-up area will present themselves in brief pitches on the AM4U stage. There will also be interesting contributions on the topic of investment and funding. The ideas competition known as the „purmundus challenge“ will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a reception and special showcase entitled „Best of 10 Years“.

Alongside the established Discover3Dprinting seminars (in German and English), visitors to Formnext 2022 can attend the AM4U area to learn about the wide range of career opportunities within the AM industry, for example.

In addition, the high-quality conference program organized by Formnext’s content partner, TCT, will once again address current trends and developments in additive manufacturing in 2022, while the VDMA will present a special show with valuable AM applications from the world of mechanical engineering and provide further insights with presentations on the AM4U stage.

The BE-AM showcase will demonstrate advanced developments in relation to the increasingly important topic of 3D printing in the construction industry. At the same time, the BE-AM symposium will present a large number of backgrounds and future developments in this field. The topic of standards, important for the entire AM industry and all users, will once again be discussed by experts and decision-makers from around the world at the renowned ASTM Standards Forum on November 14, 2022, one day before the trade fair commences.
