Successful Symposium 2024

In Conjunction with the Annual General Meeting of POLYGRAPH Leipzig e. V.

Together with the Sächsisches Institut für die Druckindustrie (SID) and Polygraphische innovative Technik Leipzig (PITSID), the POLYGRAPH Leipzig e. V. association organized a symposium on 15.11.2024 in conjunction with its annual general meeting. The association supports the institute and is also a shareholder of PITSID GmbH, which offers various measuring and testing devices for the graphics industry and mechanical engineering.

Several guests took the opportunity at the outset to get to know the services and capabilities of the institute and its laboratories and facilities as part of a guided tour.

After the guests were welcomed by the management of the institute and the board of the POLYGRAPH Leipzig e. V. association, four interesting technical presentations followed.

Unfortunately, the presentation by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Dattner, Chairman of the Board of the POLYGRAPH Leipzig e. V. association, was unable to take place due to illness. Instead, Dr.-Ing. Thomas Kaulitz (SID/PITSID) spoke about the successful participation of SID and PITSID at drupa 2024 and the latest promising initiatives to acquire new customers in China.

Alexander Bartel (SID), Carsten Holland and Annerose Hüttl from Kunststoff-Zentrum in Leipzig gGmbH (KUZ) then presented a cooperation project between KUZ and SID entitled “Additive Manufacturing of Flexographic Printing Forms using the FDM 3D Process”.

Beatrix Genest (SID/PITSID) then presented the project “AProPrint - Investigations into the Penetration Processes in Inkjet Printing”.

After a coffee break, the members of the POLYGRAPH Leipzig e. V. association met for their annual general meeting.

The Sächsisches Institut für die Druckindustrie (SID) and the POLYGRAPH Leipzig e. V. association would like to thank all speakers and guests for this successful symposium, which provided an exchange of experiences and suggestions for future projects and activities.
