From 16 to 18 October, the third IN(3D)USTRY trade fair will be held in Barcelona. The 2018 edition will be held at the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones in the Catalan capital. This global event will be the meeting place for many companies in the 3D industry.
These world leaders in additive manufacturing will be meeting around several themes. These include plastic transformation, new materials, advanced manufacturing and mould making.

A global event, a benchmark for 3D printing

The IN(3D)USTRY show is now a must-attend event for those involved in 3D printing. This 2018 edition will be an opportunity to discover companies revolving around additive manufacturing. This will be the case for the Spanish company Robotnik, specialising in robotic engineering, which is inextricably linked with the 3D printing sector.

A rich agenda of conferences

The IN(3D)USTRY 2018 exhibition will feature a number of panels on subjects relating to three-dimensional printing. The show will feature a succession of aerospace panels, focusing on materials and processes. There will also be an automotive panel focusing on the manufacture of composite materials.

A number of prestigious participants will be taking the floor to reveal the processes of tomorrow. This will be the case for Advenit Makaya, Advanced Manufacturing Engineer in the TEC-MSP Materials and Processes section. Or Martin Bock, project manager for 3D metal printing at Audi.

AYRI11 Robotics and Automation Conference

IN(3D)USTRY will also be hosting the AYRI11 robotics and automation conference. The show has signed a collaboration agreement with AYRI11, making it a focal point for sharing knowledge in the field of robotics. The show will be a platform for presenting technological developments and future trends.

AYRI11 was set up in 2011 as a conference representing a number of companies in the robotics sector. So it’s only natural that it should be present at IN(3D)USTRY to showcase the innovations of its partner companies. The development of robotics plays an essential role in the evolution of the3D printing sector, which is now a marketing vector.

IN(3D)USTRY theme: moulds and dies

One of the stated aims of the show is to promote Spanish companies specialising in the 3D industry. The aim of IN(3D)USTRY is to promote theuse of complementary technologies. With this in mind, the show has decided to bring together all the companies involved in the value chain. Including those specialising in the post 3D printing moulding process.

Plastic transformation

Another industrial sector covering the value chain is plastics processing. Companies attending the show will be able to make contact with counterparts capable of subcontracting the manufacture of parts. The meeting will also provide an opportunity to demonstrate a wide range of transformation processes.

The typical exhibitor in the plastics processing sector will be a company capable of shaping rubber or any other plastic material. The visitor will be a company looking for a subcontractor, eager to find a manufacturer capable of supplying all kinds of spare parts.
