Frank Loobeek

Business Development Manager
Mifa Aluminium bv

Frank Loobeek, Business Development Manager at Mifa Aluminium bv. I am working at Mifa for 25 years and have experienced that the possibilities of precision extrusion are quite unfamiliar. Many engineers / designers / purchaser don’t know the possibilities and therefore do not think in the way of (precision) extrusion. It is really satisfying to tell and show these people another way of thinking and to create an optimal product together, which even can help in reducing the CO2 footprint. With my presentation I will give you a short insight in our world of precision extrusion.

Senior Lecturer
Fontys Engineering

Among various additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) stands out as a leading technology, enabling the production of intricate metal parts layer by layer. However, LPBF is not without its challenges, with thermal deformations being a key concern. Fontys University of Applied Sciences has leveraged Siemens NX Additive Manufacturing for digital simulations to predict and address these thermal deformations in LPBF, thus enhancing precision and part quality. Importantly, ongoing developments and refinements in software and techniques emphasize the dynamic nature of this field, as software vendors continually strive to optimize LPBF technology for improved outcomes.

Ir. Rein van der Mast,

Onderzoeksleider 3D-Printen in Metalen / Research lead 3D Printing in Metals
Fontys

Metaalprinten wordt steeds vaker ingezet als aanvulling op bijvoorbeeld verspanen, als ‘complementaire’ productietechniek. Het biedt kansen, maar kent ook beperkingen. Drie hogescholen werken samen met universiteiten, techbedrijven en andere organisaties om de industrie ermee winstgevender te maken, met focus op de productieketen. Initiatiefnemer Rein van der Mast, onderzoeksleider 3D Printen in Metalen bij Fontys, vertelt erover.

Metal printing is increasingly being used as a supplement to, for example, machining, as a 'complementary' production technique. It offers opportunities, but also has limitations. Three universities of applied sciences work together with universities, tech companies and other organizations to make the industry more profitable, with a focus on the production chain. . Initiator Rein van der Mast, research lead 3D Printing in Metals at Fontys, will inform you about this.

Florèn van Olden

Market and Technology Development Manager
Festo

Met een brede achtergrond in automatisering en creatieve processen vind ik het inspirerend om nieuwe innovatie te doen met de bouwstenen en natuurwetten die we tot onze beschikking hebben. Of het nu gaat om het uitwerken van de perfecte beweging of het verbeteren van het ecosysteem rondom de machine, ervaring op een traditioneel gebied, kan een innovatie betekenen in een ander. Ik vind het inspirerend om kennis samen te brengen en met een open blik vraagstukken op te lossen. Kan een nieuwe techniek ons verder helpen, vinden we het wiel opnieuw en beter uit, of is de oplossing sterker hybride?
