Fakuma 2015 with New Opening Hours
Furthermore, a special show will be held in the West foyer which has been conceptualised as a “Thermoforming Island” and will provide information in a compact format concerning thermoforming technology in all of its aspects. The goal of this collective booth is to provide potential users with in-depth insights into the thermoforming process, especially in light of the fact that modern thermoforming is now approaching accuracy levels which were only recently deemed impossible.
Another exhibition segment worthy of special attention is additive and generative manufacturing, which is represented at Fakuma in tool and mould making as well as in parts manufacturing itself. Due to the fact that tool and mould making are essential Fakuma constituents, the presentation of so-called complementary manufacturing processes, by means of which the production of highly complex shapes and the integration of cooling channels close to the contour are made possible through the application of metal powder and the use of machining, is an absolute must.

At the same time, new and alternative materials are offering undreamt-of substitution options in the production of samples as well as series parts with the 3D printing process, which in many cases is capable or more than just supplementing injection moulding, thermoforming and extrusion processes. The Fakuma international trade fair is the world’s only technical event to provide a complete overview of all technologies and processes which are currently relevant for industrial plastics processing.
Fakuma 2015 opening hours: Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
