Keynote speech “Additive Manufacturing in Power Electronics”
The use of additive manufacturing offers numerous advantages, such as rapid product development and the realization of geometries that cannot be produced otherwise. In the field of power electronics, these benefits are primarily utilized in prototyping and specialized applications, both for active and passive modules. However, the use of additive manufacturing is not widespread in series production.
This presentation will explore additive manufacturing from the perspective of power electronics. After a brief overview of relevant processes and materials, the focus will be on discussing the properties that result from additive manufacturing compared to conventional manufacturing. Opportunities for additive manufacturing will then be illustrated with specific application examples from power electronics. The presentation will conclude with a discussion on whether additive manufacturing is now mature enough for series production.

Review: PCIM After-Work Event in Munich
On 16 April 2024, we opened our doors for a unique experience characterized by lively discussions, valuable connections, and an atmosphere of inspiration. Experts from various sectors of the industry came together not only to share their knowledge but also to forge new connections.
Participants enjoyed not only the relaxed ambiance but also the opportunity to engage in conversations over exquisite food and refreshing drinks. From stimulating discussions on the latest developments to personal experiences and perspectives, the PCIM After-Work Event provided a diverse platform for exchange and growth.
A special highlight of the evening was the keynote speech by Prof. Eckart Hoene on the topic: "Designing Power Electronics for Automated Manufacturability: Key to High-Volume Production."
