On the occasion of its 10th edition on October 11 and 12, 3D Print, the reference event for additive manufacturing in France, is setting up for the 1st time at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. A dense program punctuated by live demonstrations, shows on the stands, workshops, new exhibitions or conferences, will allow the thousands of visitors expected to immerse themselves in new trends and latest solutions in additive manufacturing. An unprecedented edition with no less than 300 exhibitors expected and 6000 participants.
Paris Expo Portes de Versailles: 3D Print thinks big
With an architecture optimized for the organization of large-scale events, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles is a place of choice for an international trade show like 3D Print. The exhibition possibilities are multiplied and make this place perfectly adapted to the congress / exhibition format, more conducive to live demonstrations of 3D printing machines and equipment on the exhibitors' stands.
The circular economy and sustainable development will be the themes in the spotlight
Avant-garde on the trends of its industry, 3D Print places its 2023 edition under the sign of sustainability and circular economy, a central issue for the sector. The show will be an opportunity for exhibitors to reveal their innovative and more virtuous alternative solutions. Thus, visitors will be able, along a specific route, to be inspired and discover what is best in additive manufacturing to reduce environmental impact.
Dynamic and interactive shows on the stands will punctuate this first edition of the "Green Initiatives Tour", during which exhibitors will share their success stories around one of the 5 sustainable aspects of additive manufacturing:
• Topological optimization (design) / improvement of the LCA balance
• Reduction of waste and/or energy
• Sustainable materials
• Digital inventory (stocks)
• Replacement and repair
Each participant in the "Green Initiatives Tour" will be identifiable to visitors thanks to a sticker placed on his stand.
As for the congress, it will also bring its share of answers. Visitors will be able to take part in enriching and informative exchanges and debates led by top speakers and recognized experts in order to better understand the new industrial challenges related to the environment. In parallel, the organizer of the 3D Print is also committed to limiting its environmental impact and will present its report listing the various actions put in place during the event to reduce its footprint.
Materials Corner, an area dedicated to material innovation
Representing a strong vector of innovation, materials developed for additive manufacturing now have unique properties, meeting specific market needs.
On this 2023 edition, the focus will therefore be on the material and its applications, with:
• The creation of a dedicated exhibition space (Materials Corner) where visitors can live a 360° experience by discovering a large number of materials proposed by exhibitors.
• Technical conferences and workshops that will allow participants to better understand the latest trends in the 3D printing materials sector
• The implementation of a visit route (Materials Tour) to accelerate the meeting between specialized exhibitors and visitors looking for material solutions
A tenfold increase in exhibitor offer
Because additive manufacturing can revolutionize every stage of companies' production, 3D Print will bring together 300 French and international exhibitors and brands representing the entire additive manufacturing value chain, from design to post-processing.
