3D Printshow , taking place from November 8 to 12 in Dubai, will run concurrently alongside the Dubai Airshow at Dubai World Central.
“It is becoming more and more apparent that additive manufacturing is emerging as an important tool for aerospace manufacturers with global companies such as Airbus, Rolls Royce and Boeing, among others, citing the importance of industrial 3D printing technologies within their supply chains and for final manufacturing of components,” said a statement from 3D Printshow.
“With some qualified non-critical 3D printed parts already flying on aircraft, the weight-saving benefits that translate to financial efficiencies are only now starting to make an impact. With the aerospace industry taking such a keen interest it seemed only logical to bring these two industries together in one of the most enticing places on earth,” the statement added.
3D Printshow Dubai will extend the remit of Dubai Airshow in connecting aerospace professionals with a dedicated area on the show floor focused on additive manufacturing that will be accessible to the anticipated 1,100 exhibitors and 65,000 attendees.
3D Printshow Dubai exhibitors will be hosting their stands right alongside the world’s leading aerospace companies such as Boeing and Airbus as well as their Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. In partnership with Dubai Airshow, 3D Printshow will also be hosting a joint exhibitor networking evening.
Both shows are owned by the global event organiser Tarsus.
3D printing industry leader Stratasys is a 3D Printshow Dubai Show sponsor. Along with local partner D2M Solutions, they are set to maximise the opportunity at a world-class event for one of the most prominent vertical manufacturing sectors.
It brings together key players from the entire 3D printing ecosystem - from engineers and product designers through to brands and makers. Creating a platform for the entire 3D printing/additive manufacturing industry, 3D Printshows feature industrial AM machines, desktop 3D printers and everything in between.
“With eight shows in eight major cities in 2015, we’re creating a truly global presence to match the exponential growth of this incredible industry,” the 3D Printshow statement said. Its slogan is, “Discover 3D Printing.” As well as Stratasys, a global leader across multiverticals in 3D printing, prominent parties taking part in the event include Big Rep, specialists in large-scale printing, Ultimaker, leader in desktop printers and Toner Plastics, materials specialists.
Scheduled are a conference on 3D printing in the aerospace industry, case study presentations and a high-level panel to discuss the future of 3D print in aerospace. A showfloor stage will have exhibitors and designers presenting their work.
Features include a gallery of interactive art and design, a large-scale BigRep printer doing demos, printing furniture on the show floor and a manufacturing exhibition.
