[Online Meeting] 3D Printing Cluster 19 november 2020

3D Printing has been around for many years as a promising breakthrough technology.  But can it already be used in Aerospace? For manufacturing or maybe also for maintenance or faster product development? What are the advantages and maybe challenges still ahead?  How to qualify 3D printing, and what technologies are available or emerging?  Can it be combined with existing technologies?   Many questions but there are also great opportunities. 

Based on requests by members, NAG has set up a cluster for all parties involved in 3D Printing,  both for users and suppliers of the technology and for engineering firms, research institutes and other interested parties. 

We would like to invite you for the online 3D printing cluster meeting on Thursday November 19th from 09:00 am - 10:30 am. During this first meeting of the 3D printing acquaintance and introduction of the 3D-technology will be central theme.
