A touchpoint 3D fab+print program will be a key highlight at drupa 2020 and, for the first time, the VDMA Additive Manufacturing Association will be responsible for content design and implementation of a ten-day lecture series at the world’s leading trade fair for the printing, media and packaging industry. With a view to the trade fair’s target group, the focus will be on applications in printing and paper machine construction as well as applications for media and packaging. The spectrum will range from additive-manufactured machine components to prototyping or on-demand spare parts supply for printing presses to the use of additive processes to manufacture individual advertising products and unusual packaging solutions.
In the five years of its existence, the working group has grown to around 150 members. These include leading suppliers of AM production technology for processing metals and plastics, suppliers of components, software, automation technology and materials as well as industrial users from various industries and leading research institutes. From June 16 to 26, 2020, drupa 2020 at Düsseldorf will once again be the epicenter of the global printing, media and packaging industry. More than 250,000 visitors, 1,800 exhibitors and just as many journalists from over 180 countries will flock to drupa 2010.
