THE SQUARE - CALL FOR ENTRIES

PROTOTYPING 2016

The Prototyping fair is a connection platform bringing together everyone in the prototyping industry, including both creative and manufacturing activities. It is a sharply focused practical trade event for everyone involved in product development, prototyping and low-volume manufacturing. It is a platform for all the players in the prototyping value chain, from the initial idea to low-volume production, and this is what makes it different from other trade events. The first edition in 2015 was an immediate hit and welcomed an impressive 2,259 visitors. A very promising start!

In the Square, at the center of the international fair Prototyping 2016, visitors will be presented with a visionary future of physical and virtual prototyping in a contemporary design set-up.
