From 14th to 16th May 2025, tooling manufacturer Paul Horn held its ninth biennial Technology Days open house at its Tübingen headquarters in southern Germany, which was attended by around 3,300 visitors from 33 countries. A total of 50 partner companies also took part in the event.

Visitors were able to expand their knowledge during six specialist presentations entitled 'Mastering processes in theory and practice', which were combined with live machining demonstrations. Topics included machining of aluminium with PCD tools, machining small bores, grooving, parting off, form grooving and turn-milling.

Those who wanted to explore subjects in more detail were able to take part in moderated demonstrations in three live production areas. In addition, two presentations focused on Horn's internal product configuration and the integration of AI. Visitors were able to see and test these on-site.

From a pasta machine and a braking system for an intercity express train to the combustion chamber of an Ariane engine: throughout the production area, the tool manufacturer displayed over 60 impressive exhibits that had been produced with the help of Horn tools. Additionally, 20 demo components were machined live on various machines.

As well as extensive freedom of movement around the production facilities in the two manufacturing plants at the Tübingen site, visitors were given an insight into the process from powder to the finished blank for an insert at a special exhibition organised by Horn Hartstoffe. Two presentations on the Trans KI and Meta Learn projects funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) also took place.

Markus Horn, Managing Director of Paul Horn, said: “The Horn Technology Days 2025 were a complete success. The feedback from our guests not only confirmed this, but more than exceeded our expectations. We are already looking forward to 2027, when it will be time to welcome visitors again.”
