Please note that this networking event is held in German.
What do functional surfaces do? How are they produced? What technologies and tools are needed for this? Which products and applications are suitable for surface functionalisation? Can we also do this in our company? Who can support whom with their surface expertise?
At this year's 1st Central German Surface Forum, surface experts will answer these questions and talk about the possibilities, potentials and perspectives of this cross-sectional technology for your own business operations, product development, production and marketing, and present examples of best practice.
The forum aims to fundamentally introduce the topic of "functionalisation of surfaces" to interested companies - e.g. machine, tool and product manufacturers from various sectors. It wants to give them an understanding of functional surface technologies as a promising business field with continuously existing and currently steadily growing potential, as well as existing industrially suitable and future industrially scalable manufacturing processes. In addition, the creative application and company-oriented information and exchange format for interested stakeholders from development, technology transfer, manufacturing and application wants to bring together and network.
On behalf of the "Gravomer" network, we cordially invite you to this forum!
