Additive Manufacturing Products on Display at EuroMold 2010

By DE Editors

With the special exhibition area “e-production for everyone,” EuroMold takes into account the positive development and growth of additive technologies such as rapid manufacturing and rapid prototyping. The conference takes place Dec. 1-4 in Frankfurt, Germany.

The  special exhibition area “e-production for everyone” in hall 11 gives insight into trends and future fields of application of additive technologies. Numerous market leaders will showcase their innovations. Universities will present future products and innovative designs in the field of rapid manufacturing and rapid prototyping. The design department of the University of Applied Science and Arts Hildesheim for instance, will present the first vehicle that was printed in one piece and is driven by a cordless screw driver. On December 3, the subject area will be supplemented by the 12th Annual International Wohlers Conference. The  “Designbar” will also be open to give an introduction in the topic of additive technologies.

The president and CEO of 3D Systems, Abe Reichental, projects a rapid technology market potential of one billion Euro in the next 3 to 5 years. “Our production systems and materials are enabling the transformation to rapid manufacturing across a wide range of industries like healthcare and transportation.”

Additionally, affordability and ease of use are beginning to intersect with intuitive content capture and creation tools so vital to the democratization of 3D printers, says Reichental.
