Dialogue Ra&D - iPrint: Digital Manufacturing in Practice
12 novembre 2026
Where could greater precision, more flexible production, or more selective use of materials make a difference in your manufacturing processes? On 12 November 2026, from 16:00 to 20:00, iPrint at HEIA-FR is exploring exactly that with business leaders, CTOs, and R&D and production decision-makers in Marly — through real industrial case studies, a roundtable discussion, and a guided tour of our laboratories. The focus is digital inkjet technology: placing controlled amounts of material precisely where they are needed, for applications well beyond conventional printing.
Whether your company is new to these technologies or already working on integrating them, this is a chance to see what's working for others, meet the people building it, and walk through the labs where it happens — not a sales pitch, but a working afternoon among peers.
This event is in English and free of charge.
