Last week, @Zsolt Kallai, @Doran Nettig, and @Jan-Erik Rath attended the @ESAFORM conference in #Thessaloniki, where their presentations offered exciting insights into our current research on the flexible manufacturing of fiber-reinforced plastic components.

Zsolt Kallai and Doran Nettig contributed to the mini symposia Additive Manufacturing and Incremental and Sheet Metal Forming with their works

“3D Printing of Continuous Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Tee Pipe: Strategy Development and Demonstrator Fabrication”

“Classifying Parameters and Target Variables in Incremental Sheet Forming of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers”

Jan-Erik Rath presented our recent advances in Incremental Forming of Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics and was awarded second place in the Best Communication Awards for it — congratulations on this great honor!

“Hot Double-Sided Incremental Forming of Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastics: Process Capabilities and Challenges”

In addition to the opportunity to share our recent progress, their were many opportunities for exchanging ideas with researchers from the fields of forming technology and additive manufacturing: many familiar faces, new contacts, and numerous exciting discussions. A heartfelt thank you to the organizers and everyone involved for an all-around successful #conference under the Greek sun 🇬🇷☀️.

We’re already looking forward to next year!
