3D Print Congress & Exhibition

I was fortunate to visit 3D Print Congress & Exhibition both in Lyon and Paris. Having heard that this event is the leading 3D printing show in France, I was curious to find out what it had to offer.

3D Print Paris 2022 Highlights

Held in the second half of October, 3D Print Paris was competing for the exhibitors and visitors with such a big event as Formnext. Nevertheless, 3D Print Paris was well attended and was really busy, especially on the first day. This year, 3D Print Paris took place in Palais des Congrès, in the city center, a walking distance from the Arch de Triumph.

Lyon vs Paris

3D Print Congress & Exhibition Paris and Lyon, from now on will be held in rotation, one year in Paris, the other in Lyon. You can already see the schedule of future shows.
By visiting both tradeshows, first in Lyon and then in Paris, it is possible to compare them to each other. The tradeshow in Lyon was bigger, all booths/stands were located in one big hall, when in Paris where booths were scattered in two separate halls and hallways. Also, having at the same time another industrial event such as FIP France Innovation Plasturgie in Lyon, made the experience richer for the visitors hunting for innovations in the related industries. Paris is the capital and the financial center of France when holding the event in Lyon makes sense from the perspective that a lot of industries are concentrated there.

Props & Showcases

The visitors could see the implementation of 3D printing in fashion by exploring the 3D Fashion Gallery section. The garments were printed in TPU Ninjaflex on the Hepestos 2 machine.

Another prop-rich display showcased creations by jv3d. There were a number of human-sized props including Naruto (Manga), C-3PO (Star Wars), Marty McFly (Back to the Future), and a couple of overgrown Pokemons.

ColorFabb introduced PHA Material

What a surprise it was to find my scanned tree trunk lampshade idea featured by ColorFabb. Their CEO Bert Habets picked the model to feature PHA because, according to his words, it was the “Inspiration from nature, printed with a new material (PHA) that is made by nature and readily biodegradable”. Check ColorFabbs PHA features here.

Start-ups

Similar to other tradeshows 3D Print Paris had a start-up area, where several start-ups were about sustainable 3D printing or materials. There was even a Start-up competition held on the first day of the event, and the winner announced was POOLP, also focusing on sustainability. It was hard to miss their stand because they displayed one big failed print.

As they explained to us, they have been stress-testing their material. It is easy to make a successful print safely, but they needed to learn about the boundaries and the properties of the material that they created. “POOLP is an urban micro-factory based in Seine-Saint-Denis (France), specializing in robotic large-scale 3D printing using local plastic waste as raw material. ”

Notre Dame

A few years ago, one of the questions on the subject of the restoration of the partially destroyed Notre Dame was if 3D printing could help. According to the sources, government wanted to make sure all resources were as authentic as possible. And as there are no problems with the funding, so will be it. As far as we know, no major 3D printing companies takes part in the restoration project. We can still involve 3D printing by creating models of the historic building.

In conclusion, I want to add that even though 3D Print Paris wasn’t as large as in Lyon, the overall experience was hard to beat. Firstly, it was one of the most desired physical, in-person events that we all missed during the travel restrictions, and the great bonus was that it was held in the heart of beautiful Paris.

3D Print Lyon

This was the second event I visited in a row when a 3D printing event was organized in the same Expo center and at the same time as the plastics event. 3D Print Congress & Exhibition took place alongside FIP France Innovation Plasturgie, literally in the opposite halls, and the pass worked for both of them. In Birmingham, UK, it was TCT 3Sixty and InterplasUK who were even closer neighbors at the NEC Expo in September 2021, divided by a mere retractable belt.

Such a combination of trade shows helps to understand and compare the nature and the scale of the industries involved. When visiting one, it is very tempting to see what’s on in the other. In the end, at the same venue, you learn about all aspects of 3D printing together with plastic production and processing and even see injection molding in action. Each hall is packed with innovations!

3D Print Congress and Exhibition

This event is held every year in Lyon, and lately also in Paris. The Lyon trade show is bigger than in Paris, and as I understand, the latter was initially held as a backup for the original. Lyon is the 3rd largest city in France and is known to be a gastronomical center.

Consumer and Industrial Companies Represented

– Consumer. Both industrial and consumer 3D printers were presented at the tradeshow. For example, I noticed multiple booths showcasing Prusa i3 MK3 and at least 3 booths were showcasing Creality’s 3DPrintMill, a belt 3D printer.

There were at least three stands with 3DPrintMills on display

– Filament Makers. Due to my personal passion for refill systems, I could not miss the TAGin3D booth that neatly displayed filament refills. They also showcased their master spool. The booth was hard to miss as it had a statue of a giant low poly ape holding a filament spool. That installation consisted of 24 3D printed parts.

– Industrial. Generally, resellers dominated the floor at the event, and alongside consumer brands, we saw multiple known industrial brands, such as Stratasys.
One manufacturer worth mentioning is Pollen AM. Their delta PAM 3D printers work with pallets, and the producer claims that their materials can be 5 to 10 times cheaper than those from the competitors.

Conclusion

If you are a manufacturer and want to expand your business to other geographies, such tradeshows are a must to attend. Professionals from various verticals, from medical to aerospace and construction, keep busy brushing through the innovative and diverse 3D printing applications and solutions. Representatives of such industries as automotive or home appliance, or jewelry manufacturers find value in this event, building bridges, expanding or restructuring their businesses.

I am a multiple-language speaking individual, but French, unfortunately, is not in my collection. Was there a language barrier? I didn’t feel it. I received answers to my questions, got some interesting freebies, had successfully posed for pictures, and of course, left my 3DWithUs business cards for future contacts.

3D printers

On November 15-16, a 3D print show was held in Paris (at the beginning of the month it was held in London). I went to look at this case and share my impressions. In the Netherlands, the format of a similar show has changed, the event was stretched out over several days and the price was raised to the highest possible. You have to go to Paris.

The show was filled mostly with amateur level 9 printers0011

Wanted to meet Richard Horne (RichRap), but he didn't come from London. But I held the pen with Brook Drumm (the creator of printrbot.com)

He finally made it to Europe. He did not get tired of accepting those who wanted to become distributors of his printer. He said that the demand for his printers is simply gigantic. Deliveries are doubling every month. Still would! There are simply no competitors in this price category. If suddenly someone wants to start distributing printers, then all the conditions are listed on the website - Interested in Becoming a Distributor?. The first batch must be prepaid 100%, the volumes of interest - 50 or more.

The picture shows an experimental model with a double extruder. Will go into production soon. Truth in a modified form. The extruder will be metal, not plywood as in the picture. And the motors are rotated 90 degrees so that more than two can be arranged in a row. Electronics supports up to 3 extruders, so double and triple models will be on sale. In addition, Brook said that they are experimenting with the coloring of the bar during the printing process. Those. the printing goes with a colorless or white bar, and at the last stage colored inks are mixed.

Cartesio is a device from Austria.

I have been following the project for a long time, which is still in the process of development. The first prints were presented only in October. On the plus side is a solid rigid frame that can not only carry a double-triple extruder, but also a tool for machining. In the photo is just a device with a tool like a dremel.

3D printing show became the highlight of the Russian festival Geek Picnic 2014

0006 St. Petersburg recently hosted the Geek Picnic 2014 outdoor festival. Fashion designers from all over the world came to participate in the 3D Print Fashion Show to showcase 3D printed clothes, shoes and accessories.

To people unfamiliar with this unique technology, it seemed that they were on a fashion show in the future. However, in this case, the future has become the present.

One of the most notable figures on the show was the American artist Joshua Harker, who is considered a pioneer in the world of 3D printed art and culture. “His works are thought out to the smallest detail, they break the boundaries of what is possible between design and technology,” said Maria Maria Janczauskaite, PR manager of Geek Picnic Festival.

The show was also attended by Larisa Katz, an artist and designer who is famous for her elegant and unusual works. Her collections have been showcased in Amsterdam, Dubai, Bahrain, London and New York. Her outfits are often written about in news columns dedicated to the Cannes Film Festival, Royal Ascot and other iconic events.

“My inspiration is the essence of the materials from which art haute couture comes,” explains Katz. – I believe that each material has its own essence, it just needs to be revealed. As a sculpture is hidden in a piece of marble, so a fashion designer reveals a dress in a piece of cloth. Each model is unique. In my work, I love the element of surprise, which always appears at the last moment.”

Pia Hinze dress

Designer Pia Hinze was also among the guests of the festival and showed some of her 3D printed fashion outfits. Previously, she has already participated in similar events that took place in Paris, London, New York and Ireland. Her work is a combination of classical tradition and dreams of the future. Dmitry Kashtanov, one of the visitors to the Greek Picnic Festival, said that Hinze's "Neo-baroque" dress was the highlight of the program. It consists of 8 different elements, printed on a 3D printer, and then carefully assembled by hand.

Pavel Podsednikova demonstrated her wonderful 3D printed shoes to the festival guests. She is confident that technical innovations such as 3D printing will be the starting point for an entire era in the fashion world. Her shoes perfectly follow the curves of the lines of the legs, it seems that women simply soar in them.

One of the most intriguing designers at the festival was Sensoree, which presented its NEUROTiQ line. NEUROTiQ are unique accessories that respond to nerve impulses and emotions coming from the brain with an instant change of colors and shades. The program has the ability to recognize 14 types of nerve impulses that lead to the appearance of 14 optical elements. The authors of NEUROTiQ are confident that in the future people will be able to communicate with each other using their clothes and accessories.

All in all, Geek Picnic 2014 was destined to be a huge success. We are sure that in the future there will be more such events as designers and fashion designers discover the magical world of 3D printing. Be sure to check out the photos and videos below to see all of these incredible 3D printed outfits for yourself.
