Additive Manufacturing
Industrialization, Applications, Business Models
Additive Manufacturing is a very promising technology. It has the potential to become a central building block in the future of our industry. In order to develop it further, we need concepts from business and research. With the inauguration of the Oerlikon Additive Manufacturing Innovation and Research Center in Munich as well as the establishment of the Research Institute for Additive Manufacturing at the Technical University of Munich, we support this development.
At the 1st Munich Technology Conference, we will discuss the future of Additive Manufacturing together with a select group of senior industry leaders, academic visionaries and political supporters. We will look at the challenges as well as at the potential along the value chain from design and engineering, to materials, the printing and the post-processing. Pioneering practitioners will show how the technology drives productivity increases.
