The Rapid Prototyping and Innovative Manufacturing Network - RAPIMAN is organising the 6th International Conference on Additive Technologies that will be held between November 29th and 30th, in Nürenberg, Germany.
Rapid development and the raise of awareness of possibilities offered by the emerging Additive Manufacturing technologies lead to several initiatives and funding schemes that try to promote the AM technologies to the industrial level. One of such initiatives and amongst the most prominent ones is Collaborative Research Center 814 - Additive Manufacturing, established in 2011 at the Friedrich - Alexander University Erlangen-Nürenberg. To promote the findings and astonishing results of their research work the team joined forces with RAPIMAN in organising the 6th iCAT - the conference that has strived to transfer the knowledge between academia and industry for the last 12 years.
The conference will be co-organised by the Production Engineering Institute of the University of Maribor and DAAAM International Vienna.
The conference will once again bring together experts, researchers, experienced users, and newcomers, from the additive manufacturing field.
iCAT 2016's special topics are:
- Engineers and Medical Doctors working hand in hand
- Art & Design - expanding creativity with Additive Technologies.
