下周将在布鲁塞尔举行的欧洲增材欧洲论坛2018

下周,在2018年10月23日至24日,一个行业利益相关者联盟将带到布鲁塞尔参加欧洲增材欧洲论坛(AMEF2018)。由欧洲联盟Horizo​​n 2020计划AMEF2018资助的工作是ammotion, a consortium created to encourage the rapid uptake of 3D printing across the continent.

It is supported by 13 partners across 7 constituent nations, including欧洲增材制造策略带领塞西莫,award winning3D printing stakeholders西门子and实现,tno,Twi Limited,Airbusand theEuropean Powder Metallurgy Association(EPMA)。

According to the AM-Motion mission statement:

“Additive manufacturing is a key driver of European industrialization and digitalization, a vital enabler of the industry 4.0 revolution.”

下周会给参与者农业论坛tunity to network and debate the economic, social and technical challenges presented by the current state of additive manufacturing, and the role of European policies in overcoming them.

€2.5亿欧元投资于增材制造业

According to AM-Motion, the European Union has allocated more than €250 million (the equivalent of $290 million) to research & innovation (R&A) projects focusing on additive manufacturing.

通过Horizo​​n 2020,这包括用于Cellink的资金丝绸联络项目to genetically engineer platelets for “transfusion and drug research,” €2.7 million for sustainable automotive materials巴拉巴拉计划,和Badger机器人, that aims to dig and print water pipes underground.

财团协调员Prodintec也正在合作欧洲国防局项目, that seeks to applying 3D printing to improve MRO, costs and “sustainability in warfighting and peacekeeping missions.”

EU policy topics

Next week’s AMEF2018 event will see talks and presentation across 6 key topics:

首先是“欧洲的创新工业和社会复兴”,包括欧洲委员会的讲话Horizon Europe: the next research and innovation framework programme.

第二是“添加剂制造业挑战”,审查了钢铁和过程资格中的AM战略。

The third topic, “Beyond the technological aspects” centers on barriers to adoption, such as “availability of an operational workforce, concerns about managing, protecting, and transferring IP.”

Fourth and fifth, the forum will tackle “The international dimension” and “The regional dimension” providing continental scope within the wider global sphere.

And finally, the event will close with discussion of “Key Additive Manufacturing projects,” giving a progress update on some of the initiatives that are gradually overcoming challenges. This includes presentation of the大师项目:一个模块化的直接金属激光烧结系统,也由Horizo​​n 2020资助。

ammotion路线图s

As announced in March 2018, AM-Motion has now published the first draft of its增材制造路线图, and accepted revisions to this version up until September 10. The document present AM-Motion’s vision of 3D printing progress for 2030, identifying key actions for successful uptake across all valuable sectors, i.e. healthcare, automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, tooling and energy. An updated version of the roadmap is expected for release in the near future.

借助Cecimo,AM-Motion也成功地映射了所有目前可用于3D打印的教育计划;欧盟,国家和地区倡议;以及相关的研究开发与创新(RDI)计划。
