The 34th Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium took place in Austin, Texas from 14 August to 16 August. The event offered a fascinating insight into the world of additive manufacturing and brought together experts and researchers from all over the world to present and discuss the latest advances and developments in the industry.
The focus of this year's presentations ranged from process development and material innovations to modelling and design methods. The conference left a strong impression as a meeting place for innovators and researchers working together to shape the future of additive manufacturing. The event will undoubtedly help to continue to drive the development and application of the technology.
The Chair of Design and Drive Technology was represented at the SFF by two contributions from Mr Thorsten Koers:
- Depiction of support structures in technical drawings
- Determination and compensation of the shrinkage behaviour of cylindrical elements in the FDM process
