Join us at:

1st IPPT_TWINN conference
Challenges, trends and solutions in developing and processing of recycled polymer materials
21^st – 22^nd September 2023
Slovenj Gradec
Free of charge, On-line and on-site

This workshop provides an overview of the injection molding and rapid tooling (RT) process for plastics part production, including the latest trends and potentials for industrial applications. It covers three main topics: knowledge of general injection molding process, additive manufactured RT, and application of polymer-based injection molds for production of plastic parts. Attendees will engage in hands-on workshops, covering injection molding, FFF, and Polyjet machines.

Capacity building event will provide early-stage researchers with information and skills regarding the search and application for research grants. They will acquire knowledge about the various calls at the national, EU and international levels, their specific requirements, and the steps for project proposal preparation.

Mandatory registration: viktorija.zanoskar@ftpo.eu until 26^th April 2023.

Free of charge. 

On-site.

This workshop provides an overview of 3D-printing processes for plastics, including the latest trends and potentials for industrial applications. It covers three main processes: Arburg Freeformer (APF), SLS, and FFF. Attendees will engage in hands-on workshops, covering FFF with fibers, APF, and SLS. The workshop will also include a design session for additive manufacturing and a factory tour.
