With 1534 registrants from 71 countries, 40 virtual booths and 21 speakers, it is clear that there is clear potential for growth for additive manufacturing in the Aerospace sector. It also shows the importance of virtual events both during these precarious times but moving forward into the future. ADDITIV has already put on several successful virtual events in Spanish, French and English in the past year and the results show that despite tumultuous times, people across industries still want to meet and learn together.

ADDITIV Aerospace in a few figures

If you were able to attend the event on the 18th, then you know that ADDITIV Aerospace consisted of five panel discussions, three workshops and five networking sessions with 40 exhibiting companies. People attended from all around the world, with registrants coming from 71 countries in total including the US, UK, Canada, India, and more.

ADDITIV Aerospace strove to truly replicate the experience of in-person conferences, or even in some cases surpassing it. To that end, the day was split into a variety of different workshops, panel discussions and networking sessions. During the workshops, attendees were able to see how leading AM companies, Materialise, SPEE3D and Intamsys, are adapting to the aerospace sector. They covered topics like scaling AM for mass production of Aerospace parts, the benefits of using AM high performance polymers for applications in the field and how “supersonic” speed 3D production of metal parts in copper and aluminium alloys is disrupting the supply chain. During the networking sessions as well, all participants could visit the virtual booths of 40 exhibitors working in the field of AM in Aerospace. These booths were set up like in traditional trade shows, with different exhibitors on each floors and each booth showing presentations and giving information to any visitors who stopped by.
