From November 12 to 14, InPrint Munich 2019, the international trade fair of printing technology for industrial manufacturing, will present some of the most innovative technologies and various approaches to successfully integrate printing applications into the manufacture of industrial and industrial products.
Held at the Munich Exhibition Center, InPrint Munich will allow visitors to meet some of the most innovative printing technology providers and enjoy a complete conference program. In the new advisory corner, independent experts will offer visitors free and impartial advice on the integration of printing solutions in their specific production environments.
At InPrint, about 120 exhibiting companies from 15 countries will participate, all of them presenting the most innovative advances in screen printing and digital printing, inkjet and specialized in various forms and materials, including flat or curved plastic, wood, metallic paper, fabrics, glass, ceramic and metal. The equipment and services exhibited at the fair have been specifically developed to facilitate, in a cost-effective and efficient way, a conversion and individualization of industrial and consumer products such as automotive parts, printed electronic components, packaging, beverage bottles , food packaging, fashion, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, as well as the decorative finishing of floors, tiles, interior decoration and furniture.
“Printing technology has evolved to solve complex and rapidly changing manufacturing issues, such as responding to the demand of consumers who demand customized products, faster and better, along with a reduction in manufacturing costs and environmental impact. There is a constant need to adapt to market conditions and, in this sense, manufacturing sector executives do the impossible to keep abreast of new technologies and how to apply them in their existing infrastructure” says Nicola Hamann, general director of the organizing company Mack Brooks Exhibitions. From more efficient inks, printheads and software, to important advances in metrology, drying procedures and robotics: print technology providers have been moving towards increasingly intelligent and powerful printing solutions, specifically designed to improve and even transform production processes in industrial manufacturing.
InPrint Munich 2019 visitors will be able to meet some of the most innovative and committed printing technology providers, as well as watch impressive live demonstrations of the machines, equipment and systems on display. Together with an extensive training program with technical lectures and presentations and a new proposal called the "advisory corner", InPrint Munich will allow industry specialists to make better business decisions more quickly when it comes to choosing suppliers and optimal printing technologies, and get interesting ideas for your business to keep moving forward. Marcus Timson, co-founder of InPrint and director of Future Print, a content platform dedicated to the development of new printing technology, explains the proposal for the new advice corner at this year's event: “Visitors attending InPrint 2019 will be able to speak with experts in the advice corner about their ideas and the challenges they face in their industrial printing projects. The advisors form an important part of the inkjet community as they offer an independent and flexible resource with experience. An independent perspective of the industrial printing scenario is incredibly useful when choosing technologies well ”.
Appointments for the advice corner can be booked in advance through the InPrint Munich website: www.inprintmunich.com. The counseling service is free for registered visitors and reservations for this space will be made strictly by order of arrival. Simultaneously with the exhibition, two special scenarios will take place: the 3-day conference program that will cover a wide range of topics, and sessions where the challenges and opportunities for printing technology in industrial production processes will be addressed. More than 60 internationally renowned speakers from different fields of the manufacturing and printing technology sector will present new technical approaches and how to apply them in existing infrastructures. Through case studies, technical talks and expert discussions, they will guide visitors through the steps necessary to successfully implement new printing technologies in manufacturing (from choosing the best inks, printheads and software tools, to optimizing the integration of machines and processes), analyzing the pros and cons of the different approaches. Highlights include a series of talks on printhead technology from leading manufacturers and technical sessions on: exploring the potential of integrating inkjet technology with robotics; various types of inks and their specific applications; ink drying technologies such as UV, IR and eBeam; technological options for printed electronic components; 3D Printing for the aerospace and automotive sectors; modern metrology and process optimization; and best practices for the effective integration of machines. Several case studies provide deeper insight into how to successfully implement printing technology in various industrial applications, including label printing, packaging and security.
Among the confirmed speakers are the representatives of Agfa NV, AUDI AG, BASF, Bosch GmbH, Bundesdruckerei GmbH, ColorGATE Digital Output Solutions, Cyan Tec Systems Limited, Fujifilm Dimatix Inc., Global Inkjet Systems Ltd, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, Hymmen GmbH, ImageXpert Inc, Imerys Minerals Ltd, MABI Robotic AG, NTS-Group, Profactor GmbH, Relyon Plasma GmbH, Seiko Instruments GmbH, The University of Sheffield, TU Dresden and many others. With the sponsorship of Xaar plc and presented by Werner Zapka, WZA-Consulting, the conference sessions take place during the fair in the form of open sessions and are free for all registered visitors and exhibitors, allowing easy access to interesting discussions and great opportunities to make contact. At www.inprintmunich.com, the exhibition website, the full conference program and periodic updates will be published. InPrint Munich will be held from November 12 to 14, 2019 at the Munich Exhibition Center (Germany). The exhibition, the conference rooms and the advice corner are located in Hall A6, which is accessed through the East Entrance (Eingang Öst) of the Munich Exhibition Center.
