The very top names and companies working and researching in the area of micro and nano-scale manufacturing will soon be gathering in Bilbao, Spain at the European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology (euspen) 19th International Conference & Exhibition 3-7 June 2019.
The conference and exhibition is today regarded as the premiere networking forum for this dynamic area of industry, and is a must attend event for anyone looking to locate cutting-edge information, or forge meaningful business relationships that will advance technology and commercial applications in the micro manufacturing field.
David Billington, euspen’s Executive Director says, “The event is organised to allow commercial micro manufacturers, researchers, and academics the time to learn, establish relationships, and network. Today, in such a vibrant and rapidly developing sector, networking and the exchange of experiences and developments is key, and above all else, the conference and exhibition nurture the partnerships that drive innovation and manufacturing success.”
Dishi Phillips, euspen Business Development Manager continues “Micro parts and micro systems-based products are considered as a crucial value-adding factor for many industrial sectors in Europe, the Far East, and the USA, and are therefore an increasingly important factor in industrial and economic robustness. With this importance, however, there come greater and greater market demands, and these are central to the success of the sector, and also central to the focus of our annual event.”
There is a relentless and never ending demand for more precise manufacturing systems at higher production rates and of course more precise parts. Miniaturisation is a trigger for the development of new technologies aiming at efficient manufacturing of micro-components, and these is an increasing demand for micro-manufacturing systems that not only facilitate precise manufacturing of micro-parts, but also enhance efficiency and thus increase production rates.
There is also an ever growing demand for multi-material manufacturing processes, perhaps most notably in the micro-manufacturing market for processes that enable the use of a wide range of materials, such as alloys and composites.
At the euspen annual event, such topics and trends in the micro and nano-level manufacturing niche provide the back drop for in-depth analysis of all the key topics that are at the forefront of the minds of professionals operating in this area. Specifically at this year’s event, themes covered will include design and performance of measuring instruments and machine tools; mechatronics and control; metrology; advances in precision engineering and nanotechnologies; mechanical and non-mechanical manufacturing processes; replication and additive manufacturing; applications of precision engineering in biomedical sciences; handling robotics and automation; Industry 4.0 for precision manufacturing; and precision design in large scale applications.
The annual event has various elements including the world-renowned and high quality conference at which delegates will hear all the latest developments in the core themes of the event from an array of luminaries from across the world. In addition there is an exhibition showcasing leading technology and service providers in the space, tours of local micro manufacturing related institutions, and the now famous annual networking dinner, all available for a one-off attendance fee.
The exhibition in Bilbao is set to be the biggest ever, and features repeat and new exhibitors including first timers Accumold and Nanofabrica, and among others Aerotech, ALIO Industries, Precitech, Ametek, Heidenhain, Attocube, IOP Publishing, Huber, IBS Precision Engineering, Kinetic Ceramics, JPE, Mad City Labs, Nanotech, MI Partners, PI, Olympus, Polytec, Queensgate Instruments, SmarAct, and SIOS.
Billington concludes, “The euspen Annual Conference & Exhibition is a great way to make and maintain contact with world-leading experts in the field, many of whom offer highly relevant presentations at the conferences. The exhibition is always praised as being an excellent place for exhibitors to make contact with new and existing customers, and many repeat exhibitors report that most customers they have can be traced back to a connection made at a euspen event. It shows how successfully we mesh the key players in the micro and nano manufacturing areas together.”
