Warsaw Industry Week 14 grudnia 2022

Warsaw Industry Week

Date: 7-9th November 2022

Place: Nadarzyn, Poland

During the Warsaw Industry Week Łukasiewicz – IMN presented, among others the high-performance 3D printing technology using a copper-based wire feedstock, which enables the production of complex-shaped elements without porosity, including relatively large elements at low cost of the feedstock material. Also the wires and propeller manufactured in the 3DMPWire project were exhibited.
