Let's work together to develop the uses that will enable us to increase volumes in the service of a sustainable industry’ - launch of a co-constructed communication plan to boost our Sector.

The role of each technology in the product development phases. Optimising battery design to improve performance and reduce costs. Rapid production of functional prototypes to test and validate battery concepts, and the transition to series production?

What are the success factors for an industrialisation project? We propose to present two successful projects. We will then be able to share the common factors and prerequisites for a successful project, as well as the obstacles that were overcome.

At MATERIALISE, we believe that additive manufacturing can have a significant impact on making the world a better, healthier place for everyone. Since the beginning in 1990, we have worked on this mission and we continue to do so. Economic value is generated by the new products, therapies and business approaches that can be made possible by additive manufacturing when properly applied to meaningful applications. In this presentation, we discuss several applications and the underlying factors that make additive manufacturing the best choice. We will discover how the choice is also highly dependent on the ecosystem and what obstacles need to be overcome.

MELTIO manufactures metal additive manufacturing machines using the wire laser process. Their machines come either as mobile heads that can be integrated into a robot or machining centre, or as 3-axis machines. Meltio has just announced the new M 600 machine, which complements the M 450. The M 600 is revolutionising the supply chain for companies using machining centres, as it can produce preformed blanks in different materials in very short lead times, and can therefore sometimes replace the foundry.

Post-processing is a critical step in the metal FA workflow, strongly influencing the final cost of the part. GF Machining Solutions has developed and presents a unique approach to the post-processing (machining) of metal FA parts.

With selective laser melting (SLM) technology, material parameters are crucial to the successful production of quality, productively built components. Testing machines to the limit and obtaining statistically valid data on material performance is essential to guarantee the reliability, repeatability and, more generally, the industrial performance of the SLM process.

Problems associated with the various post-processing processes for FA parts and technical solutions to address them.

The safety of people, the legal risks for employers and the environmental consequences of certain post-printing stages in additive manufacturing are often overlooked. Let's find out more about these risks and the solutions available.

The use of composite materials for the production of tools in the aerospace industry, thanks to large-scale robotics for pellet extrusion processes and CNC machines, to improve production times and costs.

Printsky (a joint venture between Addup and SOGECLAIR), in partnership with the CEA and Onera, has developed, manufactured and tested a heat exchanger to meet the challenges of low-carbon aircraft, using the advantages of printing to integrate functions and create complex shapes.

X-ray tomography is the only non-destructive technology capable of providing such a rich level of data on complex parts manufactured by additive manufacturing. Most of the time, parts have to be separated from their substrate before they can be scanned, an operation that causes stress and deformation. Data acquisition is therefore based on a geometry that is far removed from the original shape. Nikon has come up with a solution to this problem: Tilted CT.

DESOLINATION is a collaborative project aimed at decarbonising the desalination process in arid regions by demonstrating in a real environment the efficient coupling of a concentrated solar power plant to a direct osmosis desalination system.

3D printing is an excellent way of producing all types of tooling, with very rapid returns on investment and impressive gains in time and flexibility. We will be presenting you with documented and costed industrial applications to demonstrate the benefits of these solutions.

Tritone MoldJet is a powder-free additive manufacturing technology that enables the production of complex, high-density metal and ceramic parts with industrial productivity in a wide variety of materials.

ARRK, Acomon et Mitsui Chemicals dévoilent une résine transparente dotée de propriétés optiques inégalées, notamment une résistance exceptionnelle aux UV. Disponible exclusivement chez ARRK, cette résine polyuréthane est conçue pour le moulage sous vide. Façonnée dans des moules en silicone à partir de modèles maîtres imprimés en 3D ou usinés en CNC, RAVolution™ LH établit une nouvelle norme en matière de clarté optique.

Intelligent data management ensures the manufacture of XXL industrial parts with high added value. Upstream, using simulation and AI to control deposition conditions. The result is optimised lead times and a DED process used to its full potential.

Often purchased for a specific purpose, 3D printers often reveal their true value in a variety of unexpected applications, beyond their initial objective.
