Successful participation in Intec 2015

For the first time, the Beam Melting Network was present at Intec fair, international trade fair for machine tools, manufacturing and automation, in Leipzig, Germany (February 24-27, 2015). At the pavillion "meeting point industry and science" of VEMASinnovativ, exhibits from the network partners were issued, among others a lightweight-structure wing and a radiator with fine lamellae and a remarkable outer diameter of 380 mm.

As highlight and closure of the fair the Beam Melting Network hosted a workshop titled "Additive Manufacturing Technology – industrial 3D printing opens up new opportunities for innovative products and their fabrication", at February 27, 2015. Almost 30 participants could be welcomed and their feedback was very positive. The contents of the presentations of the network partners concentrated on the wide experiences in application of additive manufacturing techniques for industrial usage. Furthermore, detailed branch- and material-specific application scenarios within the fields of medical technology (titan), tool making (steel), lightweight-structures (aluminium) and power engineering were demonstrated.
