Frankfurt, Germany, is set to host the sixth 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING in the Textile Industry' symposium on November 8, 2023. 

This event, a part of the international trade fair Formnext, will spotlight the transformative potential of additive technologies, especially 3D printing, in the textile industry.

Industrial 3D printing promises to revolutionize textile manufacturing by allowing swift integration of design and functionality into fabrics while streamlining prototyping.

Michael Kieren, New Business Development Product Manager at Karl Mayer Group, emphasizes that these advancements can reduce environmental impacts associated with value-added processes.

Karl Mayer Group has pioneered a technology that combines warp-knitted textile production with 3D printing, a development co-organizing the symposium alongside Textile Research Institute Thuringia Vogtland and the Saxon Textile Research Institute.

The event's diverse program will encompass lectures and a trade exhibition, highlighting materials, manufacturing technologies, and applications in protective gear and architecture. 

Symposium attendees will also receive a four-day pass to Formnext, extending from November 7 to 10, 2023, to explore the latest in additive manufacturing. This symposium promises to be a game-changer in the textile industry, pushing the boundaries of innovation.
