Professor Christian Hopmann, head of the IKV – Institute for Plastics Processing in Industry and Craft at RWTH Aachen University and holder of the Chair for Plastics Processing at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of RWTH Aachen University, enriched the scientific programme of the conference with the lecture "Additive manufacturing of large parts by an extrusion based hybrid approach".
The broadly diversified program with seven parallel sessions provided the international audience with plenty of inspiration for technical discussion. Joint breaks and the supporting programme invited the participants to network.
