Class 1: How to design for additive manufacturing – Convert freedom into added value
This Master Class will be hosted jointly by Airbus APWorks, EOS, and solidThinking. The strengths of Additive Manufacturing (AM) lie in those areas where conventional manufacturing reaches its limitations. The technology is of interest where a new approach to design and manufacturing is required so as to come up with solutions.
Nothing is more exciting for us than presenting CONVERGE Europe within the SANAA-Gebäude, an architectural masterpiece with a revolutionary energy system.
CONVERGE is a conference for product and experience creators. For those who have been told something can't be done, or are in charge of making the impossible POSSIBLE, for the forward-thinkers who pride themselves on staying on the bleeding edge of new technology, innovations, and their convergence with design.
Join a community of your creative peers and innovators to uncover strategies behind developing top products. You’ll hear from leaders across industries, discover new technologies, and leave with a new insight toward product and experience design and development. As an event participant your input will be used to fuel a panel discussion around the excitement of design and technology converging for product development.
Hear invigorating keynote speakers, technology demonstrations, and direct interaction with people who have boldly shown how things can be done.
With high level keynote speakers, Master Classes, 2 parallel exhibitions (SANAA-Gebäude and Red Dot Design Museum) with innovative product exhibits as well as a demo center and technical tracks, CONVERGE Europe 2016 will be filled with valuable engineering content and offer a perfect platform to network, learn and share experience.
By the way, did you know that in ancient Greek, the word τέχνη (téchne) means art?
Be part of CONVERGE and explore the intersection of design & technology!

Class 3: How to start an innovative business – Leverage crowdfunding and simulation driven innovation
The Master Class on successful business foundation will be given by Vortex Bladeless and Altair. Vortex Bladeless was founded in 2013 with private capital and later supported via a crowd-funding campaign. The company’s primary goal is to develop and market a new bladeless wind energy generator, “Vortex Bladeless.” Altair has supported the project by providing software licenses and engineering services to be leveraged in the development process of this new kind of wind turbine. In this Master Class Vortex will share insights on how to set up an innovative successful technology business supported via crowd funding and simulation driven innovation.
Class 4: How to design casted products – Early and quick process simulation
Kevin Smith from DMT will talk about opportunities for a joint application of casting & additive manufacturing, and solidThinking will present a simulation driven process including optimization, geometry generation and casting simulation with Inspire and Click2Cast.
