The conference will be broken into four key tracks:
From prototype to series production: industrialization, scalability & quality in series production
This track is dedicated to the decisive step from development to stable large-scale production:
- Industry-compatible materials & reproducible processes
- Integration of Additive Manufacturing into existing production environments
- Automation, post-processing & quality assurance
- Standards and certifications for series production
Smart & Connected AM: Digitalization, AI & intelligent process chains
How digital technologies and smart systems are redefining the additive manufacturing value chain
- End-to-end digital workflows & MES integration
- Artificial Intelligence and machine learning for process optimisation
- Simulation, digital twins & predictive control
- Intelligent maintenance & closed-loop systems
Reliable & qualified: quality assurance, standards & process control
The focus is on standardisation, process transparency and regulatory requirements:
- Process stability and repeat accuracy
- International AM standards
- Certification paths in regulated industries
- Material testing, in-process monitoring & traceability
- Role of audits and data-based documentation
Ecosystems: cooperation, regulation & sustainability
Additive Manufacturing at the crossroads of industrial, social and ecological transformation:
- AM as an enabler in dynamic supply chains and industrial networks
- Public funding models & cross-sector partnerships
