Learn about medical Additive Manufacturing at MEDICA / COMPAMED 2017

Additive Manufacturing opens up application possibilities that can’t be realised using traditional manufacturing methods. The technique enables the production of complex structures that are both light and strong and offers the option to quickly produce 3D models, to name but a few advantages.

Visitors of COMPAMED / MEDICA are invited to attend, pose questions and join the discussion during the AM Seminar on Monday 13 November from 13:00–17:00 h in room 812B (above Hall 8).

Costs and registration
