More people than ever gather for sustainable 3D printing conference
The fourth time was definitely the charm for AM Summit 2022. This year set another attendance record with almost 450 visitors—an increase of just over 25% compared to 2021 and the highest attendance to date.
On Wednesday, September 7th, Danish AM Hub held the annual AM Summit—Scandinavia’s largest conference on additive manufacturing (AM) / industrial 3D printing. Visitors were inspired by insights into the latest developments and innovations in additive manufacturing and 3D printing from 44 speakers and 45 exhibitors.
“We succeeded in addressing an important and timely challenge by focusing on more sustainable production, and by extension increased innovation and competitiveness among manufacturing companies. The growing interest and commitment from both Danish and international visitors demonstrate that Denmark has a leading role when it comes to new technologies,” says Poul Skadhede, Chairman of the Board of Danish AM Hub.
The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Additive Impact – additive manufacturing and 3D printing as a driver for sustainable manufacturing’. Under this theme, 44 speakers took the stage with concrete solutions and inspiration on how new technology such as 3D printing can help us produce more sustainably and competitively—with stronger and more circular business models and more robust supply chains.
Danish AM Hub works to strengthen the competitiveness of the Danish business community by promoting the use of AM and 3D printing, and helps companies take the first steps towards more sustainable production, with AM providing the opportunity for local on-demand production with less transport and lower CO2 emissions.
“The fact that we once again set a record in terms of the number of visitors at AM Summit confirms what we experience on a daily basis—that the ecosystem and interest in the technology’s potential and possibilities grow every day, and that more and more people are becoming aware of the technology. New technologies can change the way we design, develop, and produce, and 3D printing is a crucial technology for creating positive development and contributing to a green transition across our manufacturing companies,” says Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen, Director of Danish AM Hub.
Danish AM Hub is initiated and supported by the Danish Industry Foundation.
