Due to the different technological fields, collaboration is crucial in the industrialization of the AM process. Watch the discussion of 4 experts from Oerlikon, Linde, EOS and DMG Mori.

Standards are a much-discussed topic in the industrialization of AM. The fact is: Uniform technical and cross-industry standards are currently still lacking at all levels. Check out the exciting discussion between 5 experts from Oerlikon, TÜV SÜD, EMPA, Solukon and SLM Solutions.

How much customization can, or should 3D printer manufacturers offer and still meet the quality and reliability needs of the customer?  Executives from equipment makers Trumpf, EOS and SLM Solutions offer their views in an interview with Oerlikon AM Head Sven Hicken. Modularity, flexibility, platform concepts and common interfaces are among the innovations they see on the horizon.

What is needed to ensure that additive manufacturing is already taken into account in the design phase of an industrial product? An exciting discussion was held by 6 experts from industry and science - with some surprising results! Panelists where 5 experts from Boeing, TRUMPF, Georg Fischer and RWTH Aachen, moderated by Oerlikon.

One of the most important factors for the successful integration of Additive Manufacturing into the industrial production is a smooth, continuous process across all steps. In an interview with Dr. Sven Hicken, OSS CTO and Head of AM at Oerlikon, Dr. Karsten Heuser, VP AM at Siemens Digital Industries explains the current status of the digital thread of AM.

What makes the AMTC stand out and why is the exchange in the community so important? AMTC interview with Prof. Michael Süß, Chairman at Oerlikon, Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann, President of Technical University of Munich and Prof. Johannes H. Schleifenbaum, Chair for Digital Additive Production at RWTH Aachen University.

Digitalization accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Research, education, and disruptive technologies in times of pandemic. A dialogue between academia and business – with surprising and clear insights.
