For several years now, additive technologies have been among the fastest-growing areas of modern manufacturing. Increasingly, they serve not only as a tool for rapid prototyping but also as a fully-fledged method for manufacturing components used in the aerospace, automotive, space, energy, medical, and toolmaking industries. They are particularly significant in the field of composite materials, where they enable the production of lightweight and durable structures that would be costly—or sometimes even impossible—to manufacture using traditional methods.
This is precisely why the idea of creating the 3D Printing Show was conceived, which will take place as part of the KOMPOZYT-EXPO® Trade Fair.
The exhibition’s partners are the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics, and the Faculty of Metallurgical Engineering and Industrial Informatics, which offer an innovative degree program in “3D Printing of Metallic Materials.”
The program has been designed to showcase the technology from both a scientific and practical perspective. Over the two days of the trade show, visitors will not only be able to observe the equipment in action but, above all, gain an understanding of the processes involved in additive manufacturing and learn about the actual capabilities and limitations of this technology.
