3D-Printing Congress
Event on the future markets of additive manufacturing within furniture production and interior design
7 May 2015 · 10:00–16:30
Location: Interzum, KölnMesse, hall 4
Organizer: KölnMesse
Program Development: Haute Innovation – Agentur für Material und Technologie
Presentation: Dr. Sascha Peters
Over the last two years, the potential of generative manufacturing and 3D printing has developed into a genuine alternative to conventional production technologies. Combined with the power of the internet, some experts are already describing an imminent transformation process which could have the impact of an industrial revolution. Since direct additive manufacturing has opened new areas of application in the field of medical technology and in the aerospace industry, generative manufacturing methods are increasingly being discussed in the context of the furniture industry as well as for interior design.
