August Horch Museum | Audistraße 1 | 08058 Zwickau

The demands and requirements for the functionality and design of surfaces are constantly increasing. Technology drivers here are in particular trend-driven industries such as automotive and mobility. At the 50th ak-adp workshop in Zwickau, decision-makers from the industry will sit around a table with developers and plasma system manufacturers and discuss current and visionary trends.

Atmospheric plasmas and plasma processes in general are an important building block in the industry's technology toolbox. They offer sustainable processes with high future potential thanks to chemical-free cleaning and functionalization procedures as well as the possibility of depositing nano-coatings.

At the 50th ak-adp workshop in Zwickau, decision-makers from the industry will sit down with developers and plasma system manufacturers to discuss current and visionary trends. The Zwickau venue combines the history of automotive development with the current production environment and student creativity and passion for racing.

The presentations will focus on cleaning, bonding and coating processes. This is not just about polymer surfaces. Atmospheric plasmas can make an important contribution to both additive manufacturing and the successful use of polymer recyclates. Vehicle functionality and design determine the goal.

The complete lecture and discussion program and further information on the event as well as a personal contact can be found at www.ak-adp.de including online registration.

The workshop will take place at the August Horch Museum, the birthplace of the AUDI brand. In addition to the presentations and discussions, all participants are invited to a guided tour of the museum and the established regulars' table with a wide range of opportunities for exchanging information and maintaining contacts. There will also be the opportunity to find out about current developments in the Formula Student design competition from the WHZ world champion racing team and to reminisce about nostalgic memories on a Trabi tour.

We look forward to an interactive and informative workshop with lively and wide-ranging discussions on new applications of atmospheric plasmas. You will also be surprised by a small anniversary event in honor of the 50th workshop.
