SMCCreate 2022, the design conference jointly organized by the European Alliance for SMC BMC and the AVK takes place in Antwerp from 28-29 June 2022. Registrations are now possible.
This unique conference about design in SMC and BMC composite materials will provide valuable insights in the entire product design process from idea to part manufacturing, targeted both at experienced designers and at designers that are new in applying these versatile materials.
Using SMC BMC
Within the time of only 1.5 day, the SMCCreate 2022 conference will cover a wide range of subjects, all relevant for designers in their selection of materials solutions that provide performance, cost efficiency, manufacturing ability and sustainability.
Date and Location
The SMCCreate 2022 Conference will be organized on June 28-29, 2022 in the Hilton Antwerp Old Town.
