21. Fachtagung Rapid Prototyping at HS -OWL [Lemgo, Germany]

On the 4th of November, Professor Franz-Josef Villmer and H & H corporation welcomed to the 21. Fachtagung Rapid Prototyping / the 21. Expert conference Rapid Prototyping at the University of Applied Sciences in Lemgo Germany.

Interesting to hear was a huge push for applying AM in orthopedics and custom tailored shoes realized with AM. Dr. Marcus Rechberger from Lehmann & Voss & Co. KG, a material supplier, used the 3D printed sport shoe from Under Armor as an example application. Mr.Rechenberger mentioned that the materials won’t be a problem. Christoph Lindner from Hewlett Packard 3D Printing, picked up the topic shoes too. HP will be offering it’s Jet Fusion technology as an open platform regarding materials. However, even though the machine architecture of the Jet Fusion system is looking progressive, regarding job handling and a design for high machine utilization, it is still not a system for mass production.

There were plenty of interesting presentations over the whole day but just too much to summarize here. Please see below and check this link for downloading the presentation from the HS-OWL website.
