Congress trade fair for additive manufacturing
The Rapid.Tech 3D Congress 2021 will take place exclusively digitally.

The plans for Formnext with a hybrid trade fair concept and a real presence trade fair from November 16 to 19, 2021 in Frankfurt have met witha positive response from exhibitors.
Robotics is moving towards simple programming and installation. In practice, there are many alternative methods and approaches.
Interview: Tool and mold making

Like many areas of industry, tool and mold making is undergoing constant development. Andreas Mühlbauer spoke to VDWF President Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Seul from Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences about what this looks like.
In modern industry, but also in other sectors, individual parts and prototypes sometimes have to be produced practically overnight. Thanks to additive manufacturing, there are virtually no limits to rapid prototyping in terms of geometry and material selection.

... is how the production of prototypes now works. The prototype is a decisive step in the production process.
Adaptive concepts for additive manufacturing
Robots with an extended degree of freedom facilitate the additive manufacturing of concrete parts, but some fundamental problems still need to be solved before they can be used on an industrial scale.

Andreas Mühlbauer spoke to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Roth, Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences, Laboratory for Applied Plastics Technology and Head of the VDWF Additive Manufacturing Working Group, about the importance of 3D printing for prototype production and its future trends.

In the two parallel forums "Trends in manufacturing technology and the supplier industry" and "Additive + hybrid - manufacturing in transition", the virtual congress program will address current issues in the industry.
