METAV – the trade fair in the even-numbered
years
METAV in Düsseldorf has become established as the trade fair for manufac-turing technology and automation. In 2014, it will be the first trade fair to present the full up-to-date range of offers for the market in Germany and the neighbouring countries. For European manufacturers in the metalwork-ing sector, METAV – which was first held in 1980 – is a firmly established key event.
Expert forum for the manufacturing industry
As the major showcase for manufacturing technology and automation, METAV 2014 will provide trade visitors with a complete overview of the market that is structured transparently according to technologies. Focusing on machine tools, manufacturing systems, precision tools, auto-mated material flow, computer technology, industrial electronics, and parts and accessories, METAV 2014 presents the entire spectrum of metalwork-ing.Manufacturing solutions for all user groups
The programme includes both complete solutions for the large-scale indus-trial sector and individual machines for efficient production in smaller parts suppliers. Standard machines for large-scale serial production and special solutions for highly specific production challenges will also be shown.Platform for the latest technology trends
In 2014, METAV will provide experts and professionals with the best opportunity to bring themselves up to date with the latest information across the whole range of production developments and solutions. It is here that designers, manufacturing specialists, buyers and quality man-agers can gain a rapid and comprehensive overview of the latest products, trends and innovations in the metalworking sector.CCD Ost 5

Special themes and special shows
In addition to manufacturing and automation technology, METAV 2014 will again be the venue for some appealing special themes. This premium supporting programme finds its perfect completion in special shows like the modern process chain for the manufacture of medical engineering products, innovations for the efficient machining of fibre composites, and the Fifth Dortmund Grinding Seminar.
Metal meets Medical
Under the heading “Metal meets Medical”, this year’s special show for medical engineering will again be seeing a great many companies and research insti-tutes who will be presenting to visitors their solu-tions for the manufacture of medical engineering products. At the following forum, visitors can learn about the latest trends and developments in medical engineering presented daily in numerous specialised contributions and best practice examples from science and industry. This special show will be round-ed off with a joint project stand hostround-ed by Rapid.Tech with contributions from a large number of exhibitors specialising in generative methods.
Special show
“MM CompositesWorld Area”
at METAV 2014
The composites market is a source of huge opportunities for the manufac-turing industry. The special show “MM CompositesWorld Area” casts an eye on the manufacturing and automation solutions that safeguard efficient and economical machining on composites. Specialised presentations, best practices, podium discussions, and an accompanying exhibition provide a comprehensive insight into the role of composites in the automotive and parts supplier industries or in the aerospace industry, and into the future of machine construction and other key sectors of the manufacturing industry.
ISF Dortmund
