High-profile
seminars provide inspirational insights and solutions for future development
Returning
for the third and fourth year respectively, the Agora and Seminar, and the China
3D Printing Industry Technology Application Summit continued to assist industry
players to keep pace with the latest applications and development trends of
moulding technologies and 3D printing, and were once again well received by the
audience. This year, a total of 13 presentations were delivered during the
first two days of the show, covering a wide range of topics including the
application of portable spike spark spectrometers in the mould steel industry,
the introduction of internet + cloud ERP, and case studies of classic mould,
metal 3D printing and materialise software solutions. Feedback from both the
speakers and seminar participants indicated the importance of having such
events every year so as to stimulate the information exchange between suppliers
and end-users within the industry.
Participants share their
feedback of Asiamold
Exhibitors:
“The strong
visitor flow and the international background are the main reasons of our
return. Many of our target customers from inside and outside of China attend
the fair and we have already met some of them on the first day’s morning. This
year, we have brought our new technologies related to liquid metal and product
samples of car doors made from magnesium alloy. A lot of visitors working in
the automotive industry have shown great interest in cooperating with us in the
future. I think the show is very comprehensive as it gathers different
industries together, which cover more fields than other shows within the
region.”
Mr Willow Liu, Sales
Engineer, Dongguan EONTEC Co Ltd (China)
“Asiamold is
one of the most influential fairs in the industry, gathering notable overseas
brands. The fair is well-organised with good supporting services to exhibitors.
We launched our latest 3D printing product at the fair for the purpose of
extending our market reach in South China. We hope to connect with potential
clients who engage in the intelligent manufacturing and automotive component
sectors. We have got more than 100
contacts on the first day morning and we hope to meet more new clients in the
remaining two days of the fair.”
Mr Cui Baoqi, Sales
Director, Shandong Chencan Machinery Incorporated Company (China)
Seminar speakers:
“I think the
market positioning of Asiamold is very good and practical as you can see the
merger between 3D printing and traditional craftsmanship here. The fair brings
the plastic moulding and 3D printing industry together, which provides a window
for us to enter the industry. Organising a seminar like this definitely helps
us to deliver the latest market information in a more detailed way, therefore
it is important to hold it every year. The questions asked by the audience were
also very professional. The show is extremely vital to the South China Region
as moulding is always the crux of advanced manufacturing.”
Dr Leon Kan, Business
Development Director, BMF Material Technology Inc (China)
“The topic I
mentioned today mainly focused on analysing the applications and maturity of 3D
printing in the moulding industry, and how we can serve the end-users through
our expansions in related sectors. The audiences’ reactions proved their
recognition of the message we shared, and we have exchanged quite a number of business
cards with them afterwards. I believe we will have more opportunities to cooperate
with each other in the future. It is necessary to hold these kinds of seminars
especially for a new industry like 3D printing. I can see many industry experts
from upstream to downstream also joined the seminar, which is very beneficial
to enhance the information exchange and communication within the whole
industry.”
Mr Li Shuisheng, Account
Manager, Guangdong Hanbang 3D Tech Co Ltd (China)
Seminar
attendee:
“I attended
six seminars at Asiamold and all of them addressed the current issues facing
the industry and provided a lot of insights and useful information to the
audience. The fair featured an impressive line-up of speakers which allowed us
to learn more about the latest 3D printing technologies. Through the seminars,
I gained better understanding towards the market’s demand, and it will
definitely help my company to produce better products in the future.”
Ms Wei Zhang, Marketing
Director, Jiangsu Vilory Advanced Materials Technology Co Ltd (China)
Visitor:
“This is my
first time at this fair. Our company is a manufacturer of products for the
automotive, medical and other industries. I’m visiting here to network, see the
latest trends as well as make purchases for new machinery. This fair is good
for seeing new technology, and to get ideas for future production trends. I’ve
only had the chance to see some of the halls so far, but I’ve seen quite a few
new products that interest me, there is a lot to see here in terms of different
products. This fair is good for discovering some of the new products that are
coming out of China. It’s not too big so you can easily cover everything you
need to in three days.”
