Momentum for Growth: The 4th AMTC focuses on the industrialisation of additive manufacturing for a new future

Additive manufacturing is changing the world. This disruptive next-generation technology is helping more advanced rockets into space, revolutionising design thinking for sustainable solutions and creating jobs for the future.

Reflecting an eagerness to return to Frankfurt with a bang, Stratasys will use Formnext (16-19 November 2021) as the European debut of the largest collection of new technologies, printers, materials and software in the company’s history as it executes on its strategy to move from prototyping into volume production with polymer 3D printing solutions.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is changing the world. This disruptive, next-generation technology is helping to put more advanced rockets into space, revolutionizing design thinking for sustainability solutions and shaping jobs of the future. More than 60 speakers, including from Boeing, Siemens, McKinsey, Audi, RWTH and TUM are confirmed for this year’s leading global industry event, the AMTC, to share their views on the journey of additive manufacturing.

At EMO Milano 2021, GF Machining Solutions presents the DMP Flex 350 metal 3D printer, suitable for 24/7 part production. With a maximum part build size of 275 mm x 275 mm x 380 mm (10.83" x 10.83" x 14.96"), the DMP Flex 350 enables more efficient production of dense, pure metal parts and includes improved gas flow technology for uniform part quality across the entire build area.

GF Machining Solutions presents an expanded range of laser texturing solutions at EMO Milano 2021, including the LASER P 400 Femto Flexipulse U and a virtual demonstration of the LASER S 2500 U.

At EMO Milano 2021, GF Machining Solutions highlights two milling solutions to meet shops' needs for flexibility and robust performance. For five-axis machining with perfect workpiece roundness, superior surface quality and high material removal rates, the compact Mikron MILL P 800 U S demonstrated mill-turn capabilities with enhanced loading access. For high-precision productivity in three-axis vertical milling, the Mikron MILL P 900 – now available globally with the Heidenhain Touch Numerical Control (TNC) 640 – showed ideal capabilities for the mold and die industry.

At EMO Milano 2021, GF Machining Solutions presents the Microlution ML-5, a fiveaxis ultrafast laser platform that takes micromachining beyond the capabilities of traditional CNC machining.
