Hardware
Faster, bigger, smarter?
In addition to software and metal powder, hardware is the third core
component for metal-based AM. The various printing techniques and the
interaction of ancillary equipment offer decisive potential for increasing
volumes, part dimensions and quality. The discussion will focus on
a reality check: Where do we stand today in hardware development with
a view to the industrialization of AM?
Speakers:
René Kreissl (Trumpf GmbH&Co. KG, Technical Director R&D AM)
Dr. Hans J. Langer (EOS Group, CEO &Chairman)
Mathias Wolpiansky (DMG Mori AG, Chairman)

Norms & Standards
Getting a common framework
A young technology like AM needs fixed standards and norms for its
industrialization. What initiatives have been taken recently in this regard?
What has been achieved and which norms and standards are still needed
to fully establish AM in industry? This panel clarifies many of these questions
and gives an overview of the status quo.
Speakers:
Dr.-Ing. Christian Seidel (Fraunhofer Research Institution for Casting,
Composite and Processing Technology IGCV, Head of AM and Director for

based on digitalization, its further development depends to a large extent
on improvements of integrated and seamless software and digital
systems. This panel discusses the current state and next steps in software
and system design, led by three companies that are shaping the future
of the industry – Siemens, HP and BMW – with their unique perspective on
the digital AM factory of the future as well as digital manufacturing.
