Anwenderforum Additive Produktionstechnologie

From April 28 to 29, 2026, Stuttgart will become the center of 3D printing in southern Germany for two days. The User Forum is an established series of events that has been organized for many years in collaboration with the Konradin Media Group. Together with other research partners such as Fraunhofer IGB, Fraunhofer IAO, DLR, and the University of Stuttgart, the two-day event offers a platform for current and future trends in additive manufacturing. The event offers excellent networking opportunities, especially during the evening events.

Content:
The program includes high-caliber user presentations, workshops, and lab tours that showcase the entire spectrum of additive manufacturing at the campus in Stuttgart-Vaihingen with its numerous institutes.
Participants can expect different program items on both days of the event. Thematic sessions will establish links to the latest developments in the field of additive manufacturing.

Day 1 includes sessions on additive manufacturing with metal, plastics, and elastomers, software solutions, and pre- and post-processing. Selected speakers will give exciting keynotes during the sessions.
Day 2 will feature sessions on medicine, mobility, architecture, and security and aerospace. Here, too, keynotes by external speakers will enrich the sessions with valuable input.

Target audience:
The event is aimed at users, researchers, and manufacturers of additive production technologies, as well as anyone interested in additive manufacturing and the mechanical and plant engineering, automotive, medical technology, tool and mold making, aerospace, and electronics/electrical engineering industries.
