3Dion member companies including Stratasys, 3D Systems, Makerbot and Roland DG will show a wide range of products and services on the booth, Hall 8, Stand A72.
Fespa divisional director Roz McGuinness said: “You will see the leading purveyors of 3D print armed with examples and samples to show how the technology has moved forward. It's also supported by a 'lunch and learn' session for those that really want to drill down a bit deeper into what's happening with 3D.”
Visitors will be able to explore the business opportunities of adding 3D to an established print service offering. There will also be live scanning and printing demonstrations as well as regular presentations.
Antonius Koester will demonstrate three different scanning systems that address different applications such as art, fashion and textile printing while mein3.de will present a workflow with scanning system and graphics tablet.
3Dion will also feature Adobe, Artec, Botspot, Canto, the Dream Maker Overlord, Voxeljet and its strategic 2D partner Epson.
3Dion was launched to help the continuously growing number of people coming from many different industries to understand the vision of 3D printing.
It serves manufacturers, service providers, dealers and users by offering education and training free of charge, consulting services in B2B and B2C and also on 3DION's website and social media platforms.
Sheldon Nazaré of 3Dion said: “The Fespa 3D Print Showcase should be a ‘must-see’ for every visitor at Fespa 2015, whether it’s a printer seriously considering to expand the company’s service offering, or someone merely curious about 3D printing and the opportunities it represents.
“The interest in 3D printing we’ve seen in the print community over the past year has been incredible, particularly for the automotive, architecture, medicine and prototyping sectors.”
Thomas Meurers of 3Dion added: “Any print service provider concerned with the future of their business should therefore ensure that they’re up to date with 3D printing and what it potentially offers – especially when it comes to prototyping. They will find all of this information on the stand.”
Fespa 2015 will take place in Cologne, Germany from 18-22 May. Meurers will give his presentation, ‘3D Printing – The Limitations lie in your Phantasy’, on Friday 22 May at 11.30 in the Education Hub, Hall 8, Stand 890.
