Successor to 3D Printshow

Additive Manufacturing Europe has become the successor to the famous 3D Printshow, the third and final edition of which was held in Paris on 16 and 17 October. Its organiser, the Tarsus group, has decided to give the show a new direction, bringing together the London, Madrid and Berlin shows on a single site in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Additive Manufacturing Europe has thus become a B2B-oriented show, mainly for the healthcare, automotive, aerospace and industrial prototyping sectors. As the show is European, it will be available in several languages to make it more accessible to all.

A show devoted entirely to additive manufacturing

From 28 to 30 June, all the professionals involved in additive manufacturing will be present at the Amsterdam RAI. Additive manufacturing technology is continuing to expand rapidly in 2016. Numerous projects are being launched and professionals are investing heavily in research and development at all levels: software, 3D printing technologies and tooling.
Additive printing is revolutionising many manufacturing processes. In the automotive sector, for example, 3D printing is enabling prototypes to be produced and tested rapidly.
In the healthcare sector, new prostheses have appeared that have already saved the lives of several patients. Finally, more recently, 3D printing technology has enabled astronauts on the ISS to remotely print a spanner they were missing.
To showcase the latest innovations, Additive Manufacturing Europe 2016 will feature an area dedicated to fast-growing activities, but please note that the show is for professionals only.

The exhibitors

As Additive Manufacturing is a European show, the big names in the sector will be there, including BigRep, envisionTEC, Formlabs, Höganäs, SLM, Smit Röntgen (Philips), Ultimaker, Trumpf and UL. As a meeting place and a forum for exchange, the show is an opportunity for many professionals to come and demonstrate their expertise. There will be suppliers of printing materials, manufacturers of 3D printers, suppliers of solutions and software, with examples of their achievements. All good reasons for engineers, designers and manufacturers to come and get inspired!

Conferences and training

Throughout the show, a conference will focus on the latest trends and technologies. With the help of experts, it will attempt to gain a better understanding of future challenges, and answer a number of practical questions.

UL will also be offering a series of three one-day courses throughout the show. The first will be devoted to the basic principles of additive manufacturing, the second to design strategies, and the third to quality and safety management. A great opportunity to perfect your knowledge of additive manufacturing!

Finally, there will be a Product Stage at the show, open to all, where companies will be presenting their products and technologies, as well as case studies. This will be a place for discussion and reflection, where visitors can exchange ideas and ask any questions they may have.
