2 days congress with high-level conferences dedicated to additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping and product development!
The APS Congress is held in parallel with the business convention. For the 8th edition we keep the orientations that have made our congress successful since 2016. We cover the most complete range of additive manufacturing activities, from design software to machines, services and materials dedicated to polymer or metal applications.
Benefit from the expertise of speakers and exchange time thanks to the Congress program mixing conferences and round tables.
The combination of processes (additive + subtractive manufacturing on the same part)
has significant advantages in the manufacturing of prototypes, tools and final
parts. Through Namma and its EVA machine, discover how hybrid manufacturing
meets the challenges of Industry 4.0 and makes the most of this opportunity.

One Click
Metal is a German manufacturer of metal powder bed laser fusion machines (LPBF,
SLM, DMLS).This integrated turnkey solution is economical and guarantees the
operator simple and safe handling thanks to the powder cartridges.
For industries, it is essential to be able to certify the method that
allows the manufacture of finished parts. The certification of a manufacturing
process begins with the use of certified materials.

GF MACHINING
Metal printing now makes it possible
to produce parts of great complexity by bringing together many advantages
compared to conventional technologies. However, depending on the applications,
the technology can generate a prohibitive cost per part.
A relevant approach then consists in
opting for hybrid manufacturing, namely printing only the most complex geometry
on a preform for which conventional machining is the most optimal choice.
However, this approach requires both a certain expertise and technological
tools.

A true headache in metal 3D
printing: how to ensure that tthe first print will produce a right part.
Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE Solutions enable this and you’ll discover how in
this session where both design, 3D printing preparation, 3D printing simulation
and compensation of unwanted distortion if any will be illustrated.

GROUPE AGS
At ATS, we combine metal additive manufacturing with our other
manufacturing processes. This allows us to respond to innovative technical
solutions not otherwise feasible and to economic challenges.

POLE EUROPEEN DE LA CERAMIQUE
In the additive manufacturing
sector, ceramics are still a niche sector but in full expansion. The technical
progress now allows us to consider mass production for technical and
traditional ceramics.

The mastery of support techniques in Additive Manufacturing goes beyond the technical challenges faced by most AM designers
and manufacturers. The new
challenge today is to no longer need supports and therefore to open-up
new applications, impossible of this manufacturing technique, and to increase its market share in the high-end
technical parts manufacturing. This presentation aims to raise public awareness
of the concept of "kNOw supports" developed by the Additive
Minds team at EOS, to share concrete
examples, and finally
identify the few challenges that remain to be
overcome so that this technique becomes a standard in metal additive manufacturing.
