SUMMARY:Design to Manufacturing (D2M)
DESCRIPTION:Design to Manufacturing (D2M)\nIndustrialfairs\, the organizer of five Belgian technology trade fairs\, has joined forces with powering partners Agoria and Howest Industrial Design Center for a complete makeover of the Prototyping-MNE networking event. \nDesign to Manufacturing: Prototyping-MNE Successor\nIn 2020\, Prototyping-MNE was the joint trade fair that emerged from the combination of Machineering Network Event (manufacturing technology) and Prototyping (industrial design and prototyping). The complementarity actually existed to some extent even when both events were organized separately\, and during the previous joint edition\, exhibitors and organizers were well aware of possible additional synergies for the future. \nThis edition confirmed once again that the exponential shift to Industry 4.0 and digitalization is rapidly transforming all business units (which were formerly autonomous silos where communication was often poor) of a future-oriented manufacturing organization into one interactive and agile ecosystem. The customer of tomorrow wants to do business with manufacturing companies that have a strong online presence and enable rapid design configuration and ordering\, with a short time-to-market\, well-organized supply chains and flexible stocks. \nDesign to Manufacturing (D2M) in Kortrijk. Image courtesy of D2M/Industrial Fairs\nDesign to Manufacturing (D2M) Visitor Profile\nD2M is the networking event where both designers/product developers and production-related department heads find a representative range of solutions developed in the Benelux to connect all the dots between designing and manufacturing. \nTypical visitors of D2M will include: \n♦ Metal\, PVC and composite processing and transformation\n♦ Machine building\, high-tech systems & mechatronics\n♦ Industrial co-creation\, design\, product development\n♦ Electronics\, component and equipment construction\, precision technology and precision industry\n♦ Industrial subcontracting\, Tier 1 & 2\, manufacturing companies and sheltered workshops\n♦ Aerospace & automotive industry\, energy\n♦ Manufacturing industry \nhttps://vimeo.com/677101297\nSmart Manufacturing and Digital Integration\nIn short\, the new value chain of the smart manufacturing company requires a dynamic and digital integration of all relevant processes combined with the use of innovative production and design techniques.

SUMMARY:SPIE 3D Printing for Lighting Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:SPIE 3D Printing for Lighting Conference 2023\nA number of manufacturing industries are now seizing the opportunities that 3D printing/additive manufacture can provide in terms of novel designs\, manufacturing versatility\, and cost-effectiveness. Lighting is one of the emerging key industries\, reason for the SPIE to organize a dedicated conference for it: SPIE 3D Printing for Lighting Conference 2023 in San Diego\, United States. \n3D Printing: From Prototyping to Production\nIn lighting\, manufacturers have long used 3D printing for prototyping\, but recent technology advancements in printers and materials have made it more feasible to use 3D printing to manufacture certain components for light fixtures. 3D printing offers the opportunity to design custom lighting components and fixtures on site and on-demand to suit the needs of the application and installation space\, increasing satisfaction with the product. \nResearch and Novel Approaches: From Custom Optics to Mechanical Features\nRealizing the benefits of 3D printing for lighting requires new\, dynamic research that will identify the best methods and materials to produce high-quality\, reliable custom lighting that is superior to traditionally made products. The thrust of this research must consider the thermal\, optical\, electrical\, and mechanical needs of lighting systems and components\, as well as testing and evaluation\, in order to overcome current challenges and enable on-demand production at a reasonable cost. \nAn example of 3D printed lighting components: 3D printed optics. Image courtesy of Luximprint.\nExamples of current issues for additively manufactured lighting include: investigation of materials with custom properties to print components that can serve end-use applications; understanding how dissimilar materials used in the same printer produce components with unique capabilities; and how printed components behave over time in lighting applications. \nSPIE 3D Printing for Lighting Conference 2023\nThe SPIE 3D Printing for Lighting conference encompasses the wide range of topics related to the additive manufacturing of lighting. Technical and scientific papers related to the additive manufacturing of lighting components and systems\, as well as overviews of the state-of-the-art are solicited. Research from different disciplines is encouraged. \nThe event runs from 20 – 24 August 2023 in San Diego\, California\, United States. \nPaper submission and registration via: https://spie.org/opo/conferencedetails/3d-printing-for-lighting
