Workshop “Innovative Product Development by Additive Manufacturing”
Additive Manufacturing (AM) revolutionizes product development by offering unprecedented design freedom and manufacturing capabilities. AM allows for complex geometries, enables customization and the manufacturing of products tailored to individual needs and preferences. It is possible to accelerate the product development cycle by quickly producing prototypes and to explore a wide range of materials, opening up possibilities for enhanced functionality and performance.
Learn more about the potentials of Additive Manufacturing in our workshop “Innovative Product Development by Additive Manufacturing" on September 29, 2026. We organize the workshop in collaboration with the Institute of Product Development (IPeG) at Leibniz University of Hannover. This year the workshop will once again take place at the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH).
Workshop Topics:
Innovative Design and Optimization Methods
Design Methods and optimization tools for the development of components and applications for Additive Manufacturing.
Advanced Additive Manufacturing Processes
Development of innovative processes and materials to further expand the potential of Additive Manufacturing.
Novel Applications of Additive Manufacturing
Utilizing the potential of Additive Manufacturing to implement novel solutions for innovative applications, such as energy and process engineering.
