ChemPlastExpo

ChemPlastExpo is the industrial fair that brings together in Madrid the most innovative solutions in materials, technologies, processes and machinery for the chemical and plastics industries, an event for all professionals looking for innovative solutions to improve the competitiveness of their companies, as well as the optimization and modernization of their production processes. So you can be the one who offers them exactly these solutions.

ChemPlastExpo will offer the  Congress of Applied Chemistry and Industry 4.0, and the European Congress of Plastics Engineering, a 3-day Congress focuses on industry 4.0 in both sectors and where to acquire strategies for its leadership on business in the digital age.

Madrid (IFEMA) 6th-8th November 2018 https://www.chemplastexpo.com/en/ 

International Symposium Hybrid Additive Manufacturing with Polymers

5 June 2018 8h30  -  17h  Zebrastraat - Gent - Belgium

Additive Manufacturing, better known as 3D Printing, is one of the most important technological evolutions of the moment. It is steadily becoming a well-accepted production technology in addition to conventional techniques. This international symposium will focus on polymer-based additive manufacturing technologies and their applications in customer-specific and innovative plastic and textile products. Methods to combine Additive Manufacturing with conventional processes, such as FDM printing on textiles or plastic products, will be at the centre of the symposium's scope!
