Banbury-based company Laser Lines Ltd, a leading UK reseller of 3-D printers and related materials, is partnering with US firm PostProcess Technologies to host an additive manufacturing (AM) event. The event will take place in June at the Digital Manufacturing Centre (DMC) in Silverstone.
Designed for engineers, designers, and manufacturers, the event will highlight the latest industrial 3-D printing and post-processing technologies tailored for high-end automotive use. Attendees will learn how these technologies can create a smoother production process with great accuracy and detail. This is especially useful for making high-performance parts, as it speeds up production, reduces lead times, and boosts efficiency.
Precision is crucial for industries like automotive and Formula 1. Laser Lines will demonstrate this precision using advanced equipment such as the Stratasys Neo800+ and Origin Two printers. They will also showcase PostProcess Technologies’ latest post-processing systems. The focus will be on how prototyping can achieve production-quality results quickly and accurately.
Several industry experts will speak at the event. These include Ken Whild, the UK lead at PostProcess Technologies, and Jonathan Heritage, senior applications engineer at Stratasys. The event is free to attend and will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on 19 June 2025.
The day will start with a welcome coffee and a live 3-D printing demonstration. This will be followed by presentations on 3-D printing workflows and post-processing solutions. Visitors will also tour the facility and see demonstrations of PostProcess Technologies’ DEMI 4100 and DEMI X 520 systems. The event will end with a complimentary lunch and networking opportunity.
Mark Tyrtania, sales director at Laser Lines, said, “This event is more than just a showcase. It offers a hands-on experience of how additive manufacturing can speed up and improve the production process. We are eager to show how the available technologies, supported by expert advice, can help UK manufacturers stay ahead.”
