Place: Kielce

This trade fair was the 29th edition of the exhibition. It was a time for promoting the project results as well as making contact with potential customers and future Project Partners. Representatives of the 3DMPWire project showed the Cu based wires (feedstock for 3D printing) produced at Łukasiewicz – Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, printed samples, and the marine propeller. They also took part in many meetings discussing the possibilities of cooperation.
