Additive Days is an international annual event, taking place in Sofia, Bulgaria. The forum is dedicated to knowledge-sharing, networking and brainstorming inspirations.
The Balkan forum for additive manufacturing is a propitious opportunity for starting new collaborations and initiatives. The event aims to facilitate the better understanding of the role 3D printing has to play in different areas such as engineering, medicine, business, science, education, architecture, design, fashion, etc.
The organizer and initiator of the event Additive days is B2N – the official representative for Bulgaria and the Balkans of leading companies in the additive industries like Ultimaker (The Netherlands), Formlabs (USA), MarkForged (USA), Artec Group (Luxemburg), SolidThinking
(USA). B2N strives to expand its business by consolidating the various communities in the industry, as well as by offering innovative approaches to 3D printing.
