Workshop - The complete value chain of additive manufacturing
This workshop, organised by Sirris and Technifutur, will present the synergies between the Iawatha portfolio and the FAB+ training project. Expect a presentation full of the latest technological innovations in design, manufacturing/materials, finishing and quality.
This workshop is an opportunity to transfer the technological results of the Iawatha - 'InnovAtion en Wallonie par les TecHnologies Additives portfolio projects to the FAB+ training project.
The main objectives of Iawatha were to remove the technological barriers preventing transfer to industry by addressing industrial needs through existing skills and the potential of additive techniques. The portfolio was able to count on funding from the ERDF and the Walloon Region.
Agenda for the day
Morning:
Series of talks from various partners of the IAWATHA project
Afternoon:
