Additive manufacturing is everywhere
The international orientation of Moulding Expo is welcomed by exhibitors. Merkle states that AHP Merkle appreciates the movement towards internationalisation of Messe Stuttgart. The internationality of MEX was already noticable at the last edition. 25 % of exhibitors came from abroad, mainly from the neighbouring countries in Europe, Messe Stuttgart says. Of the international exhibitors, 21% came from Switerland, 19% from Austria, 10% from Italy and 5% from France and Portugal, respectively.
"We had interesting visits from customers from Slovenia, Switzerland and Belgium. I can therefore simply confirm the internationality shown in the subtitle of Moulding Expo," Franz Tschacha confirmed after Deckerform's last presence at Moulding Expo 2015.
3D printing and additive manufacturing in general have found their way into all sorts of manufacturing processes. It is no wonder that 3D printing will play an important role at Moulding Expo 2017, too. For many years now, generative technologies have been used in industry in many areas, from the initial design to the finished product. But there are many more possible applications. Moulding Expo 2017 wants to demonstrate the synergies between new and established processing methods. Representatives from the traditional industry and the new, up-and-coming scene of additive manufacturing and 3D printing come together here – extensive experience meets incredible innovation.
In addition to the general topics relating to 3D technology and additive manufacturing, Moulding Expo offers enough space to provide information about very specific solutions in this area. Florian Schmitz, Project Manager of Moulding Expo: "The exhibiting companies showcase all conceivable applications, from traditional prototyping to the development of close-contour cooling mould inserts through to the production of stamping and cutting tools or rapid tooling." The 3D topic – also including training – is portrayed extensively at Moulding Expo.
