AMiCE Info-Market

With the AMiCE Info-Market, held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Zittau University of Engineering, today’s Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is bringing current topics in digitalization—such as Industry 4.0—to the city of Zittau. Companies, research institutions, and interested citizens are invited to attend specialized presentations on Industry 4.0 and, in this context, on additive manufacturing (3D printing) and its possibilities, as well as the circular economy, and to engage in interdisciplinary discussions. Together, we will explore the current state of research and paint a picture of the near future.

In this context, the possibilities of additive manufacturing (3D printing) and the circular economy will be discussed from an interdisciplinary perspective. Together, we will examine the current state of research and present a vision of the near future.

To the registration

3D printing is revolutionizing production technology. In addition to mass production or small batches, the trend is also continuously moving towards individual one-off production. Customers either configure the product online and then have it sent to them via parcel service providers, or they expect highly complex shapes at a price and at a speed that poses immense challenges for traditional toolmaking.

Additive manufacturing also poses challenges, such as the increased consumption or material consumption of various plastics (e.g. PLA or ABS). There is therefore great potential for socio-ecological research aimed at developing strategies to solve sustainability problems. This requires interdisciplinary and problem-solving-oriented cooperation between researchers, producers, consumers and legislators. The advantages and disadvantages must always be kept in focus for the sustainable development of 3D printing technology and the associated circular economy

The above topics will be examined and discussed in more detail in the AMiCE Dialog.
