On Wednesday, February 12, 2020, Prof. Dr. André Stork will conclude the first day of the event “Additive Manufacturing – Focus on Plastics” with his lecture “Modeling Components with Graded Material Properties for Plastic 3D Printing.” His talk focuses on a technology that enables CAD models to be easily equipped with functionally graded materials (FGM) for 3D printing. The key challenges lie in generating continuous material gradients that follow the geometry easily and quickly, as can be produced with modern multi-material printers. The two-day conference is an industry meeting point featuring intensive exchange on innovations in materials and technologies. Discussions will cover best-practice solutions for consumer goods, automotive engineering, and medical applications, as well as new approaches to design and simulation.
