Our first Additive Manufacturing Roundtable – and what a success!
Our Roundtable session focuses on AM in production – and the first kick-off workshop was about opportunities with soft tooling using Additive Manufacturing.
We had the pleasure of bringing together leading manufacturers from Denmark, including the LEGO Group, Novo Nordisk, Coloplast, GN Group and Ambu A/S, as well as international technology providers including toolcraft AG, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and EOS. Actors who all share a common interest in new approaches to accelerate product development with Additive Manufacturing.
The ambition of this Roundtable was to engage in discussion and share experience on soft tooling with like-minded representatives from Danish industry. Peter Bay from J. Krebs & Co. talked about the possibilities of AM soft tooling from a Danish hybrid approach. Dr.-Ing. Kristian Arntz, Head of Department at Fraunhofer, focused on AM in industrial process chains and closing gaps in conventional manufacturing technologies – and Christoph Hauck from toolcraft talked about the future of Additive Manufacturing with their project AMbitious. The day ended with an open discussion on both experiences, opportunities and barriers related to the cost-effective method that enables you to speed up product innovation in small-scale production of parts.
Thanks to Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, toolcraft AG and Tim Frank Andersen for enlightening and inspiring us – to Peter from J. Krebs & Co. A/S – Plastics Processing for guiding us through the day – and special thanks to the participants!
We are already looking forward to the next workshop!
