MgA at the Lightweight Construction Summit of Economics Ministers

On behalf of the MgA network, Stefanie Brickwede was invited to the Wirtschaftsministerkonferenz 2019 (Conference of German Ministers for Economic Affairs) in Bremerhaven and talked about the chances of additive manufacturing within “lightweight construction” strategies.
The event has been a great opportunity to strengthen AM issues in the political sphere as well as extending contacts in almost all German federal states. More: debating with the federal states of Berlin and Thuringia on 3D printing for construction, connecting with the Bauhaus Weimar, discussing with Brandenburg on noise protection through printed plastic parts on rails in China.
