Advanced Prototyping Solutions Meetings

13th edition 

APS Meetings brings together Suppliers and Contractors from the defense, automotive, electronics, rail, medical, and aerospace sectors, providing an opportunity to meet and discuss business issues. Thanks to its concept of pre-selected and pre-programmed meetings and its Congress program, APS Meetings addresses the challenges faced by Contractors in their research (acquisition of equipment, subcontracting requirements - additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping - engineering and raw materials) and offers Suppliers the opportunity to market their expertise, products, and services for the implementation of concrete projects.
