For decades now, Polymer Comply Europe (PCE) has been closely working with the industry to develop an in-depth knowledge and wide experience in EU Regulatory Compliance, Association Management, Projects & Studies. These EU advisors have been dedicated time to the plastics industry, an industry that was worth $1.1 trillion in 2016, and will grow to $1.2 trillion by 2020 according to The Business Research Company.
To use the jargon of this field’s specialists, manufacturers produce polymer materials whose importance is no secret in a range of industries including: packaging, building and construction, electronics, aerospace, and transportation.
In the additive manufacturing industry, even though the market’s growth was due mainly to metals, polymers represent the vast majority of materials used for fabrication. A general overview of this market shows polymer 3D printing technology keeps evolving in more concrete areas of application including producing end-use parts indirectly by printing various kinds of tooling but this does not explain the market trajectories in polymer 3D Printing by technology.
It was therefore more than necessary to sit and discuss these market trajectories, their strengths and weaknesses and what better way to do that than gathering players within the same place on May 14th at Brussels. That’s anyway the aim of PCE.
EuPC – European Plastics Converters, the professional representative body of plastics converters in Europe, whose activity embraces all sectors of the plastics converting industry, including recycling, also shares this goal hence its role of partner of the conference.
During its 2018 annual conference, EuPCheld a session focused on 3D printing within the plastics converting industry. A couple of hours that raised so many questions that the organization decided to renew the experience during a full day event discussing the newest developments of the 3D printing sector in 2019.
Other partners include CECIMO, the association of European Machine Tool Industries and related Manufacturing Technologies and Flam3D, an organization that gathers the entire 3D Printing ecosystem of Belgium & the Netherlands. The organizers will thus be able to provide accurate knowledge on various issues of the industry.
For Polymer Comply Europe, this event is a milestone in their activities as they have launched their series of conferences this year, and this 3D Printing conference is the second in their list. For the company, “3D printing is a magical solution for the newest challenges within the automotive, medical, and more. A few years ago, we all thought 3D printing was something futuristic and only available in high tech laboratories. [This year shows that 3D printing is already available and affordable, thus remains one of the greatest solutions so far. Our event aims to showcase some insights into the solutions delivered to the 3D Printing market.]”
As every organizer, Polymer Comply Europe hopes to organize an interesting and successful conference that will definitely be renewed next year.
