Formnext, the international trade fair for additive manufacturing technologies in Frankfurt am Main, is set to host the sixth ‘ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING in the textile industry’ symposium. This event will specifically focus on the latest advancements in additive manufacturing technologies for the textile industry.
Revolutionizing Textile Solutions with 3D Printing
The symposium will highlight the transformative potential of additive technologies, particularly 3D printing, in the development of innovative textile solutions and customized products, as well as process design.
Efficiency and Sustainability with Industrial 3D Printing
Michael Kieren, New Business Development Product Manager at the KARL MAYER GROUP, will emphasize how industrial 3D printing streamlines the incorporation of design and functional elements into textiles. Consequently, this innovation makes prototyping more efficient and significantly reduces the environmental impact of value-added processes.
KARL MAYER GROUP’s Technological Solution
The KARL MAYER GROUP, a leading textile machine engineering company, will introduce their innovative technological solution that combines warp-knitted textile manufacturing with 3D printing. Furthermore, they will play a central role in organizing the symposium.
Collaboration Among Industry Leaders
The symposium will be jointly organized by the KARL MAYER GROUP, the Textile Research Institute Thuringia Vogtland e.V. (TITV Greiz), and the Saxon Textile Research Institute e.V. (STFI). As a result, this collaboration represents a coalition of industry experts in the field.
Insightful Program for Textile and Plastics Professionals
Industry players will design an extensive program encompassing science and industry lectures that will delve into topics such as new materials, innovative manufacturing technologies, and future-oriented applications.
Showcasing Cutting-Edge Technologies
The lectures will explore the latest developments in thermoplastic fused-layer modeling, printing with dispensers, screen printing, and materials and applications for protective purposes and architecture. The symposium will also feature an accompanying trade exhibition, allowing companies proficient in additive manufacturing processes to showcase their products and services.
Access to Formnext
Symposium attendees will enjoy a unique benefit: a four-day exhibition pass to Formnext, which will run from November 7 to November 10, 2023. This trade fair will provide further opportunities to explore the world of additive manufacturing technologies.
