Symposium for AdditIve Manufacturing | 19.3.2026

We cordially invite you to the AM Symposium in Wels!

Gain exciting insights into the world of research and the latest developments in 3D printing

Inspiring presentations by leading companies and our project partners will provide you with valuable information on current trends and innovative applications.
We are particularly looking forward to presenting the latest research results and practice-oriented applications of various AM processes at Wels University of Applied Sciences.
Take the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts, gain new impetus for your own projects and be inspired by the diverse possibilities of additive manufacturing.

And best of all, this symposium is free – but certainly not for nothing!
