February 1, 2021
Originally scheduled to take place in March, the 5th Additive Manufacturing Forum Berlin will now take place July 21–22, 2021. The organiser, Germany’s Institute for Production Management (IPM AG), states that the change reflects its caution regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and is expected to allow virtual participation, while also providing the opportunity to meet in person to discuss technological advancements.
AM Forum Berlin is aimed at beginners, advanced users, and professionals from the aerospace, automotive, railway, mechanical engineering, construction and agriculture, medical technology, and science industries.
The 2021 conference programme is characterised by practical relevance, learning opportunities and cross-industry experience sharing by leading solution providers and experts, addressing all aspects of the Additive Manufacturing value chain and presenting hands-on solutions and strategies for successful use of AM technologies.
The focus in the upcoming conference will be on: Design & Simulation, New Materials, Series Production & Automation and Post-processing & Quality.
