First day at NPE (Orlando, FL, USA) and first event in the morning: Press conference at KraussMaffei. PU magazine visited the booth and learned the latest news about the ColorForm One-Shot process.

At NPE in Orlando, Florida, USA (6-10 May), Peter Giessmann and René Dierkes showed PU magazine examples of larger automotive interior parts, which are now possible.
