KCI will run a 3D fab + print touchpoint at Drupa with the intention of bringing together those working in 2D printing/packaging production, and in 3D printing industries to share technologies and knowledge. The ultimate objective of the touchpoint is to encourage new technological integrations across the sectors.
The touchpoint will encompass a daily schedule of interactive presentation sessions. Each presentation will comprise a 10-15 minute talk and will be followed by a question and answer session with the audience. Some of the companies that have already signed up to present are: SDD/AMR Europe, Gartner, Doob, Smithers, Massivit. They will address such themes as:
- What 3D technologies are relevant to the 2D printing and packaging production industries?
- What added business potential is there for 2D printing services to integrate 3D printing into their available services?
- What opportunities does 3D printing represent as a new business model?
