More people than ever gather for a green 3D printing conference
The fourth time is certainly just as lucky for AM Summit 2022, which once again set a record this year with nearly 450 visitors—an increase of just over 25% compared with 2021 and the highest number of participants in the conference’s history.
On Wednesday, 7 September, Dansk AM Hub hosted the annual AM Summit—Scandinavia’s largest conference on additive manufacturing (AM) / industrial 3D printing—where guests met no fewer than 44 speakers and 45 exhibitors, who inspired with the latest developments and trends in 3D printing.
“Many strong forces succeeded in addressing an important and timely challenge by focusing on sustainable production and, in turn, stronger innovation and competitiveness in manufacturing companies. The growing interest and engagement from both Danish and international stakeholders show that Denmark has a leading role when it comes to new technologies,” says Poul Skadhede, Chairman of the Board of Dansk AM Hub.
The theme in 2022 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 companies can get started with AM technology and leverage its many opportunities and great potential for more sustainable production.
Dansk AM Hub works specifically to make Denmark a global leader in applying additive manufacturing for more sustainable production—where less waste is generated, less material is used, there is less need for transport, and less CO2 is emitted.
“That we are once again setting a record for the number of guests at AM Summit confirms what we experience every day—namely that the ecosystem and interest in the technology’s potential and opportunities are growing almost daily, and that more and more people are discovering the technology. New technologies can change the way we design, develop, and produce, and here 3D printing is a crucial technology for creating positive development and contributing to the green transition in our manufacturing companies,” says Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen, CEO of Dansk AM Hub.
Dansk AM Hub is initiated and supported by Industriens Fond.
