Look who’s visiting us at our offices in the Marienpark

In March Franziska Giffey, SPD Berlin top candidate for the office of Governing Mayor in Berlin and back then Minister for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth visited our IAM Hub. As part of her “matter of the heart” tour, we were able to communicate our heartfelt topic of additive manufacturing with commitment.

In May we once again welcomed esteemed guests, this time Michael MĂĽller (Reigning Mayor of Berlin) & Ramona Pop (Berlin Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy and Operations) were very interested to learn about the possibilities of 3D printing.

The district mayor of Tempelhof-Schöneberg (where our office is located), Angelika Schöttler, also came to the Marienpark and we are happy to always push the topic of AM.

Having all these guests at our offices shows that 3D printing is a technology that no one can ignore and our voices are being heard.

Together WeBoostAM!

WOMEN IN AM: The first physical AM event in 2021 is just around the corner!

On July 20, the first physical meeting of the year will take place and we are looking forward to welcoming women in professional and leadership positions from the AM industry.
Since the personal exchange over the phone calls and video conferences of the past months has been less than satisfying, the focus this year at Women in AM is on eye-opening and discussion-stimulating personal conversations, as well as a diverse exchange of knowledge among each other. Of course, participants can also expect innovative presentations from users and representatives of the AM industry, but the most important thing is exciting networking in numerous breaks and workshops.

We are looking forward to participants from all branches of industry as well as exciting contributions from the mobility and medical sectors, research and the service sector.

The event will take place in the uniquely modern setting of our Marienpark neighbor Brewdog, where progress, sustainability and a feel-good atmosphere are combined in a unique setting. At DogTap, history and innovation come together with ample space for culinary experiences.

We are pleased that the current relaxation of restrictions will allow us to physically hold the event, but the safety of our participants is of course still paramount and a comprehensive hygiene concept must be adhered to.

Limited tickets to the Women in AM event are available at www.am-forum.eu/women-in-am
Take the chance now to meet users and other representatives of the AM industry physically again, we are looking forward to a lively participation!

When: July 20, 2021  Time: 11:00 – 18:00 + Dinner event
Where: Im Marienpark 22, 12107 Berlin

AMPOWER develops a calculation tool for the ecological footprint of AM

Nowadays no one can get around the topic of sustainability: thinking about the environment is essential for the industry of the future.

Additive manufacturing is one of the most promising technologies when it comes to reducing one’s ecological footprint, but what we now need is finally putting numbers on how ecological sustainable certain additive manufacturing processes and materials are in comparison.

One of our newest members, AMPOWER, the Hamburg based leading consultancy in the field of industrial AM, is kicking off the next study from the “AMPOWER Insights” series on July 23 and is looking for partners from the MGA community.

Already twelve renowned partner companies are supporting the study, which main goal is the development of a generic calculation tool to estimate the carbon footprint and resource consumption for components in different additive and conventional manufacturing processes and materials.

In the first step, the tool is not intended to be a replacement for the very precise, but also lengthy and expensive Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), but rather a supplement to be able to quickly make an initial estimate of the ecological footprint, e.g. to be able to compare different manufacturing processes.

In LCAs the complete product life cycle is considered, but the study will concentrate on the part of the chain from raw material to finished product, because this is where the greatest differences between the individual manufacturing processes lie.

The study will be concluded by the end of December and will be available in full only to participating companies, AMPOWER will make extracts available to the public.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this amazing project!
