Additive Manufacturing Experience Day: Focus on 3D printing with fluids and paste

On April 23, 2026, ViscoTec Pumpen- u. Dosiertechnik GmbH is hosting its first Additive Manufacturing Experience Day in Töging am Inn. The event will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Customer and Innovation Center (CIC) at the company’s headquarters and is aimed at users, developers, and representatives from research and science who are involved in additive manufacturing – in particular, 3D printing of liquid and paste-like materials. The Customer Experience Day is a registration-based event with a limited number of participants and is not exclusively by invitation only.

Additive manufacturing beyond conventional filaments

The event will focus on eccentric screw technology in additive manufacturing. This technology enables the precise 3D printing of fluids and pastes such as silicones, polyurethanes, conductive or abrasive pastes, ceramic materials, and biological substances. ViscoTec has been working in this specialist field for over ten years and has established itself as a supplier of dosing technology in this area.

The technologies and applications presented address fields of application in medical technology, the automotive industry, aerospace, the food industry, and research and development, among others..

Practical applications from industry and research 

Using specific application examples, the Experience Day demonstrates how fluid additive manufacturing is already being used today. Visitors gain insights into the entire process of fluid 3D printing—from material handling and dosing technology to finished components. These include, among others:

• Patient-specific organ models for surgical planning and training
• Patient-specific medical devices
• Prototyping and small-batch production, e.g., for sealing and damping elements
• Additive manufacturing with RTV silicones and LSR as a service
• Additive manufacturing of conductor tracks on three-dimensional components
• Functional silicones with fireproof, mechanical, or electromagnetic shielding properties
• Applications in the field of bioprinting 

Cooperation with Rosenheim Technical University and the kAeMu network

The event’s cooperation partner is Rosenheim Technical University, a network partner in the Bavarian kAeMu network – 3D printing for Bavarian SMEs. The aim of the network is to train employees in small and medium-sized enterprises in the field of additive manufacturing. Rosenheim Technical University will present the kAeMu network in a lecture. The speaker will be Prof. Dr. Fabian Riß from the Faculty of Engineering, whose areas of expertise include lightweight construction, additive manufacturing, and production engineering.

Lectures, live demonstrations, and tours 

The Additive Manufacturing Experience Day program includes:

• Specialist lectures from industry and research
• An accompanying exhibition with live demonstrations
• Company tours of ViscoTec’s production and development areas
  

The aim is not only to impart theoretical knowledge to participants, but also to enable them to experience the potential of additive manufacturing with fluids and pastes live and to identify specific starting points for their own applications.

Interested? Registration is required and participation is limited due to the limited number of participants.
