[ian 32]

Germany's Biggest and Best 3D Print Technology Fair (Messe) FABCON

If you love to tinker with 3d design or you think your company could benefit from the current Revolution in 3d print technology, then get down to FABCOM in Erfurt Germany!! (14. - 15. Mai 2013)

I will be there personally making a presentation on the modern adoption of 3D Printing in the Architectural and Engineering Industry. Bases on the experience of S&P Gruppe Leipzig.

I would like to attend this fair (and also meet with you Ian since I'm also keen on getting into printing architectural models, both for hobby and perhaps business) but it seems to be "in the middle of noware".

The "Erhurt-Waiman airport" link on the travel page:

http://www.fabcon-germany.com/en/service/travelling-to-messe-erfurt.html

makes me believe it's a very small airport offering only flight to/from Antalya/Mallorca?

I've posted some questions on this via the contact form of Facbon-germany web site so I'll see what they say.

Ian: How and when are you travelling there?

anyone driving close past Cologne ? will pay half fuel cost...

hi guys.

i am going to drive down from Leipzig I think, Its not such a bad drive.

About flying in, i guess flying into Munich would also be quite possible ? also there are a lot more connections going to Munich International than Erfurt.

I hope to meet you all there.

I hope to bring both my ultimakers and I know some more ultimaker people are coming down, so a kinda 3d printing paradise and trainning ground.

should be a lot of fun and I would be very happy to share my wisdown in producing arch models using an ultimaker... :-)

See you guys there !

Ian :-)

Ian :-)

Everybody is happily invited to join Harma at the Ultimaker community booth! Bring your own Ultimaker, show other how awesome our favorite printer is and get some free filament from Harma as a thank you gift.

 

I will also bring my own (portable) Ultimaker - everybody who's familiar with the machine is welcome to operate it as well at the Ultimaker booth.

We, Gijs and Sander, are in Erfurt too! We got lots of samples for anyone who is interested. How about a beer tomorrow night? Heard something about a after print party... Hmm
